TED Talks

TED Talks gather sharp, story-driven ideas into short speeches meant to travel. Quotes in this category capture the moment a speaker distills research, lived experience, or a hard-won insight into a line you can carry away. You’ll find language about curiosity and skepticism, creativity and craft, leadership and empathy, technology’s promises and costs, education, health, climate, and the quiet work of changing a mind. Some lines are practical—tools for thinking, reframing, and decision-making—while others are daring, asking what we assume and why. Readers return to these quotations for their clarity under pressure: big concepts made speakable, memorable, and ready to spark a conversation long after the applause fades.
