Let me see if I can help and get this point through properly:
Sit down and write a zero draft of your paper, a very quick first draft that, in general, lays out the basic lines of development for your paper. At this point, you’ll just be using your own words; you can come back later to integrate your sources more fully. No doubt, this zero draft will be very rough and incomplete, but it is valuable because it helps ensure that it will be your voice, and not that of your sources, that will take the lead in organizing your essay. Your zero draft will also help you begin to see how your research material can be used in the context of your basic discussion or argument—where it can fit in the context of your paper.
(I add these notes - Notice how you want your voice, your reasoning to be front and center)

You should keep direct quotes to an absolute minimum in any research paper. A research paper is not a string of quotes linked together with brief text by you. If we want to read a bunch of quotes, we'd skip your paper and go to your bibliography to read the material for ourselves.
(remember this is your argument and not your sources argument. If all you're doing is saying they said so, we should read them and not you.)
The Research Paper
I would never say don't use sources, as they are often necessary (though
some arguements can be made without them). And when there is a factual issue, a source is needed. And sometimes it is good to have someone knowledgable on the issue agree with you. But those sources are less valuable once you understand you can find someone knowledgable to say the exact opposite and any other thing.
But at the end of the day, you will need to have sound reasoning that is yours. You need to reason well and create a sound logical foundation on which to place your support.
