| Apr 12, 2022 at 11:39 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | ...I don't know if you were concerned about the "validity" of the cited "quote" itself, but I'd say it's a bit of a stretch from I am alone to this loneliness... On purely stylistic grounds, I think I'd prefer ...and my loneliness is killing me to strengthen the link between the two clauses. | |
| Apr 12, 2022 at 11:29 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | Yes, syntactically your cited text is "correct". But I'd say using "quote" as a verb immediately after using it as a noun is stylistically weak. It's also poor semantically, because most likely this "someone you read on the internet" was the actual person who originally said/wrote the cited "quote". But "to quote" [some text] doesn't mean to produce it (as an original utterance) - it means to cite something someone else said or wrote. Just get rid of the second instance of "quote" - ...this loneliness is killing me” is a quote from someone that I happen to read... | |
