Forum:Quotes

Are quotes in articles neccessary? Lots of articles, particularly about people, have quotes from them which don't really seem to do any good for the articles. So should they all be removed, or should any quotes (e.g, not like "one of the Dalek's most common war cries is "Exterminate!") on their own be kept in? 12:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
