Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
Often times I'm confronted with a quote that I don't remember saying. So, on one hand it's very flattering, it is just so surreal.
I think we must quote whenever we feel that the allusion is interesting or helpful or amusing.
Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
I rarely find that things put in quotes, attributed to me, are things that I said -certainly in the context in which they are presented.
I'm a great believer in the direct quote in quotation marks and the hard fact.
I quote others only in order the better to express myself.
The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.
Those quotations were really quite obscure. Anyone can see that he is a very well read man.
