The passage below comes from Kenneth Burke's 1969 A Rhetoric of Motives (Berkeley: University of California Press)
"Aristotle had said that, particularly in the arousing of pity, the rhetorician is most effective if he can bring before the audience the actual evidence of hardship and injustice suffered. Thus, in proportion as "imagination" went up in the scale of motivational values, one might come to speak of an appeal to the imagination in many instances which classical theory might have treated as persuasion by the appeals of pathos and ethos (appeals to "emotion" and by "character" or personality," (81, Burke's emphasis). Would you advise the speaker to quote this passage or paraphrase it? Justify your answer. What are the major differences between quoting and paraphrasing?
