"I will face god and walk backwards into hell" - a Dril tweet about yelling at zoo animals.

"You cannot kill me in a way that matters." - a Tumblr shitpost about mushrooms.

"Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?" - Spy Kids 2, the children's movie.

And now:

"Babies are born worshipping unknown gods." - a Dwarf Fortress bug report.

Any other good candidates?

@mhoye the Gargoyle animated tv show has one of the best line of this style said by none other than Jonathan Frakes : "Pay a man enough, and he'll walk barefoot into Hell"

Proper attribution would be David Xanatos, not Jonathan Frakes. Frakes is merely the voice actor for the character. A "played by" or, more accurately, "voiced by" attribution can be placed after the character name and show/book/movie title.

@WarmasterPalak @mhoye confused about what does it change ? By that logic we should not credit David nor Jonathan but the writer than wrote the dialogue ?

Attribution for quotes is always important. You may always attribute a quote from any work to its writer, but the general audience will know character and work more often than not.

Misattributing a quote leads to confusion and conservatives believing they're actually Christians.
