This is not a quote; it is an unrelated picture with some text we would not consider worthy of inclusion on its own merits.
Who is this “we” you speak of?
If your objection is that it’s mere text and not a quote, well, allow me to add an attribution. I do think you’re taking the whole quotes thread idea a little more seriously than it was ever intended to be taken.

I deny that the quote is sub-standard. If you think it is, I suggest that you’re not looking hard enough for the message.
