Ever thought that clever book quotes could be used for any other purpose than trying to impress snobs and the parents of your significant other? Well, a New York-based graphic designer Evan Robertson sure did and ended up turning his favorite literary quotes into beautiful graphic posters.

While reading his paperbacks, Robertson developed a habit of underlining the most grabbing lines and famous quotes. He noticed that some of them inspire his hand as much as his head, so he started combining them together in poster designs.

Robertson says he uses the lines for his cool posters that he finds while traveling or sometimes stumbles upon by accident, and sees them as hyperlinks, which can “leave the rest of the story behind and open up a new window of ideas, insights, musings”.

His plan is to complete 50 new cool designs a year, having done 24 already. Among those are lines envisioned as drawing ideas from books by Kurt Vonnegut, Ernest Hemingway, and Jean-Paul Sartre.
