# Dataset Card for Motivational Quotes

This is a dataset of motivational quotes, scraped from [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/).  It contains more than 4000 quotes, each of them labeled with the corresponding author.

## Data overview

The `quotes` subset contains the raw quotes and the corresponding authors. The `quotes_extended` subset contains the raw quotes plus a short prompt that can be used to train LLMs to generate new quotes:

```json
// quotes
{
  "quote": "“Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying.”",
  "author": "Roy T. Bennett"
}

// quotes-extended 
{
  "quote": "“Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying.”",
  "author": "Roy T. Bennett",
  "prompt": "Provide a motivational quote about resilience:”
}

```
