To paraphrase is to put verbal or written quotations into your own language, to summarize it or make it clearer. It is a subjective alternative to direct quotes.
For example : "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" could be paraphrased as "the captain ordered the ship through the mine field despite the known risk."
