I recently came across a quote attributed to Lucille Ball: “Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.” I loved it — so I asked Claude to verify it. Turns out, there’s no solid evidence Lucille Ball ever said it. It’s one of thousands of quotes floating around the internet misattributed to famous people.

This is a great reminder: in the age of AI and instant content, the responsibility to verify hasn’t gone away — it’s increased. Whether it’s a quote, a statistic, or a financial projection, always check the source. Curiosity without verification is just a good story. Curiosity with verification is wisdom.
