I use a similar approach to the xkcd one above
Don't use a selection of words unless they are random and have at least two additional types of complexity -- adding a random letter in caps and a random special character for example.
Otherwise dictionary crackers will have you.
Most people assume that any four words they pick will add sufficient complexity, but people tend to pick familiar and common words when left to their own devices and this is surprisingly predictable even if you think your advanced college degree in literature gives you an edge. Use an online tool for random word-generation or an app like 1Password to randomly generate the words.
