Proof by means of the quote

Filed under: Laughter, Quotes, Satire — Laiet @ 8:14 pm

Since everything’s been said and done; there’s really no point in quoting oneself when you can more easily copy what somebody else said.

It gives you much more credibility to quote someone else anyway.

People say “Oh, aren’t you smart” when you quote someone else; but tell you how to improve it (or argue with you), if you’ve quoted yourself.

So, it’s best for me; I’ve decided, to never say anything that I believe to be original.

Everything I say from now onwards is going to be somebody else’s quote.

And we’ll start with Oscar Wilde.

“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

  1. Here is another one from Oscar Wilde:

    “Ah! Don’t say you agree with me. When people agree with me I always feel that I must be wrong.”
