Better wording would have been either/or. It would be best to have a link though.

Yet for polemical value the author or source name can be of much value, but i understand your concern is only copyright.

Bible verses and the Constitution are in the public domain.

Indeed, and easily recognizable for what they, unlike many other public domain sources, and i would assume that in such a case you would want to know the source in order to make sure. Plus it is ethical. I cannot see quoting swaths from the Westminster Confession or Catholic Encyclopedia without attribution.

From the Religion Moderator profile page:

“When quoting a source, e.g. a website, article or book – be sure to include sufficient source information for the moderators to enforce copyright restrictions.”

Every quote from a website, article or book should be attributed so we can check for copyright violations.

With the exceptions posted earlier, obvious public domain quotes.
