Quotation confesses inferiority.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone utters a quotation, they are implicitly admitting a sense of inferiority. By relying on the words of others, they are acknowledging their own lack of originality or belief in their own ideas. This can be interpreted as a form of modesty or a lack of confidence in one's own thoughts and opinions. Quotations may be seen as a way of seeking validation or support from the authority of others, rather than expressing one's authentic voice. Overall, this quote implies that relying too heavily on quotations may reflect a sense of personal inadequacy.
