That is every quote on the shelf, all 6 of them.
6 quotes, dealt in a fresh order every day, so the page reads differently each morning, and every quote keeps its own page.
Every quote on GKBook is traced to the book, speech, letter or interview it came from before it is published. A famous line that cannot be traced is kept because people search for it, but it is labelled "Attributed to", and a line that belongs to someone else is labelled "Often credited to" with the real origin beside it.
The first pill opens the author's page with every quote of theirs on GKBook; the others open the categories the quote belongs to, such as Love Quotes or Wisdom Quotes.
Tap the quote to open its own page, which carries a share button and, where a quote card has been made, a Download button for the full-size picture.
