It's not a quote, but a statement. And even if it were a quote, random other quotes from the same person are not relevant. "This is just a part of the quote" people are so annoying. Like guess why it is "only a part of a quote"? Because some parts are neat, insightful and true, and some other parts are irrelevant and garbage.
Sorry, this was a more general rant, because it is so annoying every single time.
In this case: Who the hell cares about that random guy's random views? How is it relevant in this conversation?
