Since you don't state a source for your quotation it has very little
value.

That is simply illogical.

It isn't remotely illogical.

The whole point of presenting a quotation such as you've produced is to
give an authoritative view on a subject.

no, its to provide material to discuss. If you dont want to discuss its
merits or demerits, ok.

=========================================

I'm afraid you've lost the plot.

You presented your quotation to counter my comments and those of another
poster, and you presented it without any introduction, explanation or
source.

Quotations are widely accepted as means of presenting an authoritative
opinion on a subject but their value derives from the status of the person
or organisation quoted. A recognised and respected expert's opinion
carries weight; the quotation you offered, without attribution, would be
seen by many people as trivial, inaccurate and misleading.

If you want the offered quotation to be considered worthy of discussion,
just follow convention and quote the source and the circumstances in which
it was made. Without a source it has little or no merit.
