Or you may not fully agree with its interpretation, which can help you clarify and more fully develop your own personal perspective on a quote’s meaning.
Bottom line: it can contribute to your enjoyment and the benefits you experience when you read and personally engage with interesting and popular quotations.

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
“Being an excellent Receiver does not rob you of using your good judgment….” (Amanda Owen, English writer)
