Partial disclosure -- I worked for Wordnik for six wonderful years, but I don't have any API superpowers.

Inspired by all those tweeted and pinned inspirational quotes with spurious attributions, I thought content generation had some uplifting wisdom of its own to impart. I tested a number of algorithmic strategies, and found the most promising to be the replacement of words with random words of like part-of-speech, and keeping the quote intact but randomly choosing a new attribution. Quotes are paired with random public-domain images scraped from unsplash.com.

I added a new strategy -- replace several words in the quote with words that rhyme with each other, and attribute to Dr. Seuss.
