QuotesPorn is a subreddit dedicated to insightful quotes imposed on SFWPorn worthy images. QuotesPorn distinguishes itself as a place for artful or otherwise well-composed images; comics, memes, macros, and other low-effort content are not allowed.

Submission Rules

  • Include a brief snippet of the quote in the title.
  • Include the person who said the quote in the title.
  • Include the resolution in [brackets] in the title.
  • Include the full quote on the image.
  • Only submit static images.
  • We no longer allow [request] threads. All requests should be submitted to /r/picrequests.
  • Videos, collections, interactive images/websites, and articles are not allowed.
  • Submissions must include a "SFWPorn-worthy" graphic in addition to the quote. Images that contain only text will be removed.
  • Reposts are allowed, but only if the original post is at least 3 months old, and not currently in the top 100 submissions of all time.
  • Do not submit a shortened link using a URL shortener like tinyurl.
  • Make sure your image is hosted by an approved host.
  • Original source is allowed and preferred over the approved hosts. Please designate your original source with the tag [OS] in order to prevent mixups.
  • If you created the composition yourself, you can signify this by using the tag [OC] (original content) and after 24 hours you will be given special flair. If you don't receive flair after a few days feel free to message the mods. "Composition creation" is defined as one of two things:
    • Find an image and shop some text onto it and submit that.
    • Take a picture, shop some text onto it, and submit that.
  • If you have any questions check out the FAQ.
