The document discusses when to use direct quotes in writing. It advises that quotes should only be used when the original writing is special or beautiful. It provides two examples - a definition of a Gantt chart that does not need to be quoted directly, and a witty quote by Oscar Wilde about telling the truth that is worth quoting directly due to its humor and insight. It also provides a brief biography of author Hans Anderson.
