Remove your Fake Quotes

Hi,

Small issue, I know but I see this everyday so yea. False attribution isn’t a good thing either to somebody’s legacy. I’m sure you wouldn’t want someone misattibuting you to something. Everybody is tired of fake news, don’t start creating it here.

You guys have fake quotes on your main page.

“Twenty years from now you you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” - this ISN’T Mark Twain (src: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/09/29/you-did/)

“Find what you love and let it kill you.” - this ISN’T Charles Bukowski (src: https://bukowskiforum.com/threads/find-what-you-love-and-let-it-kill-you.7288/)

I’m sure there’s more but because I don’t have access to your quotes database, it’s up to you guys.

Thank you for helping make FCC better. Bugs can be reported as GitHub Issues. Whenever reporting a bug, please check first that there isn’t already an issue for it and provide as much detail as possible.

as freeCodeCamp is open source, the codebase is visible by anyone

this is the file with the quotes, for example: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/blob/master/config/motivational-quotes.json

you could also create a pull-request yourself to make the fixes
