quotes are good, but only for the short term
you can use them as short inspiration and can make them up nearly on the spot with a piece of paper in front of you
What do you look for in a quote?
"hard like a hammer, and bent like the sickle that crosses it"
soviets based their basis of manual labour on their coats around the fundamental tool of nature and progress, the male schwang...
those are the quotes I look for, the ones that are REALLY DEEP that say more than just the surface words
I like your quote, a little dull though, I get paid off a lot now though:cheer: I'm glad I put all that hard work in
similarly, without the background knowledge"say hello to my little friend" a quote can be comical when it is meant for a completely different purpose. The right mindset "be a man" must be incorporated if the quote is to have any meaning.
So steer from the quotes, and aim for short essays, or take the quotes "with a pinch of salt" there are always new ways to consider options that are given when you hear a quote, with a pinch of salt, mountain, smidgen, are different terms and are flexible, sometimes people will recognize a universal quote when it is in the right context and simple to understand without them having to conciously try to determine the meaning. Other times it can be subsurface as a joke or a challenge and can enforce your options in the eyes of others. Quotes are spectacular in their ability to convey ideas, but as always, you must be in the PERFECT setting for it to work.
