LISTEN TO ME. PLEASE. YOU HAVE GOT TO STOP POSTING QUOTES ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT VERIFICATION. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE QUOTE IS AN ACTUAL QUOTE AND NOT AMENDED, WARPED, OR PATENTLY FALSE. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE SOURCE IS CORRECT. YOU CAN’T JUST SEE A STRING OF PRETTY WORDS AND THEN SPREAD THEM LIKE SOME SORT OF VIRUS THROUGH MILLIONS OF LAZY, IMPRESSIONABLE BLOGGERS SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CAN’T BE BOTHERED TO -AT THE VERY LEAST- GOOGLE IT. CHECKING IN AN ACTUAL BOOK WOULD BE FAR TOO DIFFICULT FOR YOU. I KNOW YOU’RE JUST ‘TUMBLING’ OR ‘TWEETING’ OR WHATEVER, BUT DO YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING? A REPORTER IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS SOURCE? IT’S LIKE THAT. YOUR CREDIBILITY IS AT STAKE, AND YOU ARE MAKING THE WORLD STUPIDER.

WHO SAID THAT THING ABOUT REPORTERS?

OSCAR WILDE.

IT’S PRETTY SMART.

OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO MURDER YOU.
