Some people can’t possibly refrain from using quotes.
When one does not have anything to say,
one starts with a quote. It does not matter to whom it belongs to or if it fits
the context. What is indeed important is that people have thus the chance to
understand that one is a fine intelectual, pondering on serious matters of the
world.
The other day, I had such a great laugh
because of an add to a shoe company. The text started with a Buddha quote,
trying to connect it to certain pair of shoes.
Aside from its improperness, one could not
but see that associating the shoes with Buddhism is weird, considering the
simplicity it promotes, but also the fact that Buddhist monks usually are
barefoot.
Ave, spirituality!
