I think quotes are very dangerous things.
I write my own quotes. Except this one. I obviously stole this from somebody really clever.
Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.
I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking.
Quotations, like much better things, has its abuses.
To be amused at what you read - that is the great spring of quotation.
I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.
The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.
The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive.
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.
