Quote of the Week
I’ll take the easy path with this one, and just Quote myself; “I hate quotes.”. I don’t like quotes, because, frankly, they’re just a set of words to me. They have no meaning or purpose; anyone can say something. I think you should do something, not talk about doing something, or make a statement about the clearly obvious. By taking action, you cause things to happen rather than telling people that you’re going to do something. I dislike quotes that are basically blatant statements that are very obvious and clear. If I didn’t get it, I’d ask. Don’t tell me and act like I’m an idiot or something. I suppose the only quotes I do like are the funny ones when you catch someone saying something silly or dumb. That’s all.

I completely disagree with you. I believe that quotes do have a meaning and purpose. When life brings you to a low point, you may forget that the situation can become better and you may just need a positive reminder or to realize that others have gone through a similar experience and have over come it.

I don’t completely disagree with you, in that I believe that people should rely on actions rather than words to set themselves. But quotes are very good things, leaving such phrases open to interpretation gives so many people hope and inspiration about their personal situations. Though you may not agree with all the, so-called, inspirational quotes you’ve come across, you should probably not shoot down the entire idea of them, because someday, you’ll realize that they do hold some merit, just in different ways to different people.
