Sources?, Where we're going, we don't need sources

One of the Annoyances that Mr. Stedman first talks about is the way a quote might fit into a sentence. The flow of your writing should allow the quote to not stand out without some sort of explanation. When you drop in a quotation without explanation the quote passes over the audience with little effect. Quotes are used to back up your statements while reassuring the audience that what they are reading is factual. Without the audience recognizing and understand why a quote is their could cause the credibility of your writing to diminish in the eyes of the reader.
