How often do you quote other people, music, and television.
In real life of course xD ?
If so, what and why do you suppose you do it?

I suppose I quote, or try to quote, 2 a day.
I guess it's because of my AP Literature class, the teacher always makes it a maxim to 'quote, quote, quote'.
Now I'm doing it all the time, unfortunately. =\

Besides, it means that I'm actually remembering and learning from things around me. I use 'all you need is love' a lot. :P
 
If it's from hilarious movies, yeah, all the time. Of course mine always comes from either Wedding Crashers, or any of the first three American Pie movies, but anything like that I'll quote if someone sets me up for it. Old School's another good one to quote. :p
 
I quote people sometimes...if I can remember what they said. Usually I forget and so I'll try to make one up on my own, but similar to what I heard. So I guess that isn't exactly quoting, is it?

I tend to quote a lot from books I read though.

Why do I do it? Uh, same reason why everyone do it, I suppose.
 
Well I quote writers from the many books I read or people whose words have a deep meaning to me.

For example, if I see a lot of useless fighting between people I quote Mark Twain and use this quote: "There are times in which one would like to hang the whole human race and finish the joke"

Sometimes I quote FF characters like Squall:
"No one can predict the future, there are no guarantees" (Though I am not 100% sure if he said that during the game....guess I must replay FFVIII XD)

Or even characters from cool movies like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Back to the Future (1, 2 and 3) or even from my friends.
 
I believe I quote stuff that my friends and teachers say. *ponders*
I even sometimes copy people like 'Zell', but that's not all the time.

I only ever quote movie quotes if they're funny too. :P
I only ever quote from books if it's on a test, where they make you quote passages and sentences from the books.
 
If the moment is right then I would. Normally I would hit out a South Park quote if I am talking with my brother since he also watches South Park so he would get me. He would normally do the same thing aswell.
 
If I find it amusing, I'll usually quote someone, but most of the time no.

Most of the time though, I'll remember and quote some good advice I was once given a long while ago.
