I think we must quote whenever we feel that the allusion is interesting or helpful or amusing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.
I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking.
To be amused at what you read - that is the great spring of quotation.
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.
The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive.
I'm a great believer in the direct quote in quotation marks and the hard fact.
I think quotes are very dangerous things.
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 quote others only in order the better to express myself.
