Ah, figures. I should know better than to post quotes without checking if they're attributed correctly

You should probably correct it right? Like swap the image for a different Herzog quote, or change it so the image is William
That is very doable
keep all text, including the misattribution to werner herzog and substitute a portrait of william shatner.
Why don't you correct it then? (Eg, either delete your post, or replace the linked image with an updated one that attributes the quote correctly.)
This isn't facebook; please don't post years-old misattributed quote memes.
Would have cost you exactly 0 € to not be a cunt, but here you are.
I didn't correct it because I was away from my computer for an extended period – the current version has a different image and is correctly attributed. I didn't delete it because then the existing conversation in the comments would have also gotten nuked, exactly the same reason the mod didn't delete it either.
I immediately thought that doesn't sound like something Herzog would say.
