The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
That's how it is with legends. The greater they sound, the more must've got left out.
Quoting someone and rewriting their words makes it a quote from you and not them any longer. To change the meaning of someone's words without permission is offensive enough, to then contact the quoted person and try to justify it to them is even worse. It's verbatim or bust!
