[Peace-discuss] Quotations & Quotationism

[Szoke, Ron]

Notes on picking cherries & nits:  

George Seldes, compiler,  The Great Quotations  (Lyle Stuart, 1960, 893 pages)  [Arranged by author]

	A very different book with the same compiler & title:  
	The Great Quotations (Pocket Books, 1967, 1086 pages)  [Arranged by topic]

	See also: George Seldes, compiler, The Great Thoughts (Ballantine Books, 1985, 487 pages [Arranged by author]
	
	Contain hundreds of quotations that you can cherry-pick to support your views — whatever they may be — or to nit-pick, undermine & rebut anyone else’s views.  

To keep in mind: 
All quotations are always “out of context.”  
Every context has a context.
	
In the dying world I come from, quotation is a national vice.
