If you have smallish bits of node content that you need to display and collect in various ways (like quotes), this is a simple and powerful tool. I am still experimenting with incorporating tags and displaying subsets of quotes -- and thereby linking them up with other content on my site.
Special fields include the author of the quote and source. You can set the author field to link to all other quotes by the same author. Handy.
Quotes displays in blocks (but note that block content can be displayed on a regular page also -- that was a key discovery for me as I learn Drupal). Quotes is supposed to support Views, but so far Views is not my friend (that lets you know how much of a newbie I am!). I like modules that come with built-in block capability 'cause I know how to use blocks!
This is my favourite kind of module: one that does what it does well and doesn't try to be too many things or endlessly configurable.
I just want a bunch of random quotations showing up in particular place on the site - and that's what it did.
Took me a few minutes to work out that I had to create and then enable a block myself - I thought it would be automatic, but once I'd figured that, I had my desired effect operational within about ten minutes.
Simple and sleek. Well done.
