"他人を引用するのは、自分自身をより良く表現するためだけです。"
— Michel de Montaigne
Simplified Meaning:
When someone uses other people's words, it's like borrowing their thoughts to better explain their own ideas. Imagine you're having trouble describing how you feel about something, but then you hear a famous line from a movie or a song lyric that perfectly captures your emotions. By sharing that quote, you make it easier for others to understand you. For example, if you're very happy and you say, "I'm on top of the world," like a character in a well-known movie, people instantly get how you're feeling because they remember the movie scene. Using quotes is a way to connect your personal thoughts with something familiar and powerful, making your message clearer. This approach can help you communicate more effectively with others by drawing on shared experiences or emotions.
