    Lightbulb quotes or sayings lover

    Hello everyone!

    I'd like to know if there is a certain label or name for those people who loves sayings or quotes so much?
    For book lovers or those who loves to read are bookworms, right? how about quotes or sayings lovers?

    Hope you'll share here. Thank you for sharing...

    I don't think there's a single word for it, but you could say "quotation afficiandado."

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    Though now that I've tried it a few times, a-fish-ee-an-dah-do (my "spelling") is kind of fun to say.

    There's a tendency (that I dislike - but I'll report it as an option, in the hope that nobody uses it ) to add '-oholic' to things to suggest an addiction, as though '-oholic' were a suffix in 'alcoholic' - someone who is addicted to alcs, presumably). so new words like 'chocaholic' and 'workaholic' crop up (in informal speech). So the (lamentable ) 'Quotaholic' would make a kind of sense. (I believe there is a formally correct word, ending '-phile', but I've never heard it used, except maybe in pub-quizzes.)
