Paraphrasing Quotes

I crave to be understood because when a person writes about himself, he does not work in obscurity but a little too much in the light which he focuses on himself.

In his references to my own work, Gould includes at least nine citations that involve more than just an expression of Gould's opinion; in these citations Gould purportedly paraphrases my views. Yet in eight of the nine cases, Gould's representation of these views is false, misleading, or grossly caricatured. Nonspecialists could have no way of knowing any of this without reading the cited sources.

From the total literature spanning more than a century, the few "bad apples" have been hand-picked most aptly to serve Gould's purpose. View quote
