Quotes

We are currently developing the website for Bloom Psychology, and are working hard to strike a balance between the scientific side of psychology - which differentiates us from all those solving problems through crystals - and the creative more informal side, which we also want to retain.

At the outset we thought that using quotes to illustrate each service we offer would be inspiring, but sometimes we think they could be a bit cheesy. What do people think about the use of quotes in general? Cheesy, or inspiring?

Hmmmm, I'll need to consult with my crystals and get back to you on this. ;) Z

Good if used sparingly - and can be cheesy - also worth checking out who said them - does the person reflect your 'brand'?

And there's a lot of quotes that are over-used, mis-attributed, etc.

If a quote fits, go for it, but don't make it a rule that you have to have a quote.

i tend to side with jon's last statement. if you have a really apropos quote for the topic at hand, go for it. if you have a quote that only loosely correlates, the cheese factor will turn people off to the quotes altogether.

This is good advice. Thank you. I will be asking you all to review the site when it goes live!
