Dead words from oft dead people as I like to think. I don't care how worthy the man those words came from was in his day. Times change, people change, and the words should change, too.
Lastly, I want words from the person I'm talking to, not his/her imaginary back-up. Sadly, these days the art of rhetoric turns more and more towards appealing to the common denominator. There are so few opportunities to have scintillating conversations now....

Treasure your intelligent friends, people. And if you don't have any, that better be because you don't have friends at all. In my opinion that would be far better than surrounding one self with idiots.
The fountain of doubt? Again, with you. Though I do have a tendency to use quotes, I don't like people who overuse them, and I have managed to think of some good ones myself along the way.
ReplyDeleteI've... I can't even think of anyone I know personally who uses quotes to defend themselves or anything. Mention them as fun at most. Guess I'm lucky over here.
ReplyDelete@Mark: A good quote, in context, can be great. Too often, the (wo)man is misquoted. Wonder if they roll over in their graves.
ReplyDelete@D4: I envy you, sir.
