Life advises

[matrixmann]

Famous quotes - who really knows they've been authored by the people they get attributed to?
Who can really say it's that what they meant? That what they thought?
And - who can say if they weren't a bit naive and really that wise?
Who knows at all if they totally personally were that what they get regarded as these days - decades, centuries, even thousands of years after they have lived?

With what certainty do people use them for brightening up their lives?
Are they afraid of something?

Hm... I'm getting an idea: What about own quotes? I mean, quoting oneself? Phrases one created by oneself?

For me it is not that important who is behind a quote it should be interesting. I’d got to some Internet site where there is a rating for quotes and everybody could leave one or more, so I had copied around hundreds from famous people and not and got a lot of pleasure to listen them after now and then.

I only find that barely someone uses a quote by some unknown fella or his neighbor to support his own position - or whatever he has in mind as a purpose. That's why I make "author" a topic in this.

If to think about quoting myself... well, my relatives/friends do it constantly as I am quoting them as well, it is absolutely normal but we are not writing them down to the eternity judging...
