[quote me] quotes are not necessarily true.

i do not like forwarded text and e-mail messages with seemingly "quotable" quotes but if you really look at it, it's not something that some might think as "good," say in the eyes of God. 

but they oftentimes appeal to the emotions, particularly of younger people ("young" being a culture-dependent term), and sometimes when you hear something that you like to hear, you also like to think it is true. 

sometimes these "quotable" quotes have ulterior motives written somewhere in between the lines.  an example might be "when ."

sometimes they are true for one person, but not universally true.  hence, i do not think they should be "put in print" - or in our age of digital printing, even via text or e-mail messaging.  because younger, less mature people (say 16-year olds?) who receive them might think they are universally true even more so when it comes from someone even just a little bit older.

be careful of the "quotes" you receive.  i think quotes should be taken from a specific book, article, author/writer, or speaker, and that book, article.  otherwise, look at them only for their entertainment value.  and tell younger people to consult you about the "quotes" they receive.
