I always find a memorable part in a book that I am reading. Those sayings or ideas always stick to me. Usually they are catchy or clever. The quotes are hardly ever long and are extraordinary things said in such simple words that I could not come up with myself (hint: keep it simple stupid). I cannot ever seeing myself memorizing a country song or a classical piece of music if the hook is not seem catchy or interesting to me. I love R & B and rap music for their catchy and memorable hooks. The metaphores and connections made in songs are eye opening and make you realize how much of an art words are.
In the article, Joe Romm said "Studies suggest that if a phrase or aphorism rhymes then people are more likely to view it as true." If a phrase seems so well put together and it sounds like words were always meant to be together, why not think it is a true statement? As a child, my sisters would say, "Fatty, Fatty you look like your daddy," to me. Those words rhyme and they were so true. I would not get mad, because I knew that I was such a great person that my only problem was my weight. Other than that I was perfect. Some phrases do not even have to rhyme in order for them to sound true. The way you talk personally changes the meaning. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Those words do not rhyme, but the way people recite those words has power.
