I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
About This Quote

A quotation is a short piece of writing that has been quoted from someone else, usually by the person who said it. The reason I hate quotations is because I don’t want someone to take my words and use them to their advantage, without giving me credit. It’s kind of like when you post something on Facebook or Twitter and you have to include a link to the source. But, if they don’t give you credit, you have no idea where they got the information from.
