Logseq/Entity/Quote

• Quote

  • In this garden, Quote pages model a single quotation, popped out onto a page of its own under whoever said or wrote it.

  • What counts as a Quote entity (and what doesn't)

    • A page holding exactly one quotation, named <Source>/Quote/<Summary>.
    • Not a Quote entity: a page collecting several quotes from one source, or an inline [[Quote]] / #Quote tag marking a quotation inside a larger note. Both stay whatever they already are; Person/James Clear/Book/18/Atomic Habits/Quote/Good Easy, Bad Difficult predates this type and is not migrated.

  • Naming and namespace

    • <Source>/Quote/<Summary>, nested under the most specific page that already models where the quote appeared. created-by:: records who said or wrote it, which can differ from whoever owns that namespace.
      • From a book: nested under the book, which itself nests under its author per Logseq/Entity/Book — Person/James Clear/Book/18/Atomic Habits/Quote/Fall to our Systems.
      • From a podcast episode: nested under the episode page, even when a guest is speaking — Person/Gergely Orosz/Podcast/26/01/The Creator of Clawd I Ship Code I Dont Read/Quote/Prompts Are Higher Signal Than Code carries created-by:: [[Person/Peter Steinberger]] under the host's episode namespace.
      • From an event or talk: nested under that event's existing page, for example Conference/ORCwAI/Quote/<Summary>. This garden has no formal Event or Conference entity page yet; treat whatever hub page already exists as home until one is defined.
      • Said by a person with no more specific source page (a tweet, an offhand remark): Person/<Name>/Quote/<Summary>.
    • <Summary> is a short Title Case paraphrase of the quote's idea, not the quote text itself.

  • Frontmatter

    • Set created-by:: [[Person/Full Name]] for whoever said or wrote the quote.
    • Set logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Quote]].

  • Page shape

    • Frontmatter, then a single blockquote bullet with the quote text — no heading.

  • Popping a quote out and embedding it back

    • The source's own page carries a linked bullet to the quote page with an indented {{embed [[...]]}} child, matching the Quotes section on Person/James Clear/Book/18/Atomic Habits.

  • Finding and deduplicating

    • Search in order: exact page name; distinctive phrase substring across existing quote pages; created-by:: backlinks.
    • Classify as existing, similar, new, or blocked.

  • Relationship to other types

    • Logseq/Entity/Person, Logseq/Entity/Book — common sources; the quote nests under whichever of these already models the source.
    • Inline [[Quote]] / #Quote tags remain a separate, lighter convention for marking a quotation inside another page; this entity is for a quote popped out on its own.
