Lots of people use quotes a lot in personal email conversations, and you have to realize that if you do it too much, you won’t look smart. In fact, many smart people try to use a lot of quotes and often find it backfires. Why? Well, it makes them seem like they have no thoughts of their own, just the thoughts of others, usually “dead white men,” and so while they try to appear cultured, well-educated, or full of wisdom, they end up looking foolish.
Not long ago, an acquaintance said that those who use too many quotes seem to be unprepared to think for themselves, and yet once in a while you will be fooled by a heavy dating user, as they are actually quite smart, but others can assume they are not for all the other words they use constantly.
Still, it should also be considered that one of the opportunities in communication is to use a quote or two from time to time. Why do you ask? Well, most of these quotes have been whittled down to the smallest amount of space by those who have lived through the previous ones. Therefore, it is convenient to use such statements to save time when making a point.
Thus, it allows the explainer to quickly move to the next level or to the next point of discussion. In addition to using quotes from those who have gone before us, quotes that have been taught to all, allow for a common reference point or platforms throughout the conversation to climb to a vantage point to better see the fish below. And on a good day, the fish are really plentiful. Please consider all of this.
