<p>I cannot decide on whether or not I should use italics in this situation.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>in my opinion, i think you should just italicize wouldn’t</p>
<p>The thing is, this is not the exact sentence. It would give away too much information about me. I changed it though. That is a better example. I apologize for making your post irrelevant.</p>
<p>If you were exasperated, like “dang I’ve tried absolutely everything” (sigh) “what else can be done?” where each word is emphasized, then italicize. </p>
<p>If you were thinking constructively, like “Hmm, I wonder what else can be done (to improve my situation)” then use quotations.</p>
<p>Anybody care to back what Senior said (just to be sure)?</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>—anyone?—</p>
<p>–nobody?–</p>
<p>I agree with what Senior says 
If the whole statement needs emphasis as a whole then italicize
but if it’s just a normal statement to yourself use quotations.</p>
<p>Okay. Thanks.</p>
