I love quotes. I love quotes mainly because quotes are an easy way for people to feel like they are contributing something transcendent and original to human discourse without actually trying too hard, relying more on the attribution than the content of whatever was said.
I mean, ok, let's be honest. Quotes are ridiculous. One of my favorites is "Not all who wander are lost," which was written by J.R.R. Tolkien about a pretend person from thousands of years ago who hung out with elves and dragons, except then it got taken up by a particular historical counterculture and is now put on stickers slapped on the back of Honda four-doors blasting like, I don't know, fucking Amanda Palmer or something.
