Pull Quote Break is a one sentence rest stop. A single aphorism sits oversized between two hairline rules with a small source line beneath, centered, and nothing else. It borrows the magazine pull quote, the line that earns being set large, and uses it to break up long pages the way an image would, without an image.
The quote and source are two strings. The sentence must be an aphorism rather than a claim, it should read true on its own with no supporting paragraph. The source line, an issue number, a talk, a handbook page, tells readers the line was written somewhere real first.
Reach for this block between two heavy sections of an editorial or about page, wherever the eye needs a beat. It is punctuation, not argument, the page should work with it removed. Differs from mission-statement-centered in scale and job, that block opens a page, this one paces it. Use at most two per page or the rests become the music.

One strong use is your best aphorism from existing writing. Other breaks:
Tip: test the sentence by removing the page around it, a real pull quote survives alone on a wall.
