Do you think it's lame to throw in a Shakespeare quote in a science essay?

>> No.5638361

you should cite him correctly

Depends on the quote bro.

>> No.5638375

What is lame is forcing the language just to make one fit.

And don't stick to Shakespeare; lots of good quotes are out there.
Again, use them when they fit, don't fit them because you think a quote looks better.
