: What is a good alternative for 'Yours truly' while quoting yourself? I wish to use a phrase/word after a quote, to indicate that it was me who came up with it (i.e. a phrase to quote myself)

I wish to use a phrase/word after a quote, to indicate that it was me who came up with it (i.e. a phrase to quote myself) This is for a blog post. Is there any way to do so without telling ' "......" - Yours Truly ' ?

Use your own name, as if it were somebody else. Anything else will be too overly informal or else too pretentious.

An alternative, if you think it needs more emphasis (or if you think that citing yourself as if a third party is itself too pretentious), would be to write a one or two sentence introduction to the quote and then leave it either unattributed or attributed to yourself in the third person as I've already suggested.
