Importance Of Quoting

There was one stupid guy in Russia who never cited what he was quoting, that’s why he got the title of the “best misogynist ever” (as some brutal, but sensitive feminists affirm). His name was Pavel Astakhov, and his most notorious statement was that the women in the Caucasus usually get “wrinkled” by the age of 28.

The fool was pretty quickly fired, and for a good reason. Plagiarism is not a good thing to do.

“Ce fiel! Les femmes, ça décline à la cire, ça se gâte, fond, coule, boudine, suinte sous soi! mutines à poison, gredinettes, pertes, fibromes, bourrelets, prières… C’est horrible la fin des cierges, des dames aussi… La messe est dite… Sortez! Sortez!” (Louis-Ferdinand Céline “Féerie pour une autre foi”)

“This bile! The women, they decline like wax, they rot, melt, flow, roll up, ooze under themselves! these rebels of poison, grudges, losses, fibromes, beads, prayers… The end of candles is terrible, and so is of women… The mass has been said… Get out! Get out!”

Moral: Cite references while quoting!
