ALL quotes and examples must be given within a certain context and yes, they all need some explanation, although some do not need much.
To suggest that, for example, Kennedy said "Ich bin ein Berliner" can mean either he wants to identify with the people of suffering Berlin, or it could mean, as it literally does, that he is a donut! Every single quote must be within context, as every single action must be viewed from both context and understanding the motivation of why a person did what they did.

It depends on you're quotation or example. If you're quoting George W. Bush, it'll probably be pretty self explanitory. If your quoting Michel Foucault, you might need a little more explanation.
