Dear Feliciano, it is certainly important to recognize the original authors for their intellectual contribution.  It is honest and courteous  to acknowledge their hard work and great contribution, and to cite them, and to build on their work.  It is truly to stand on the shoulders of giants.  Each one of us can only contribute a small finite portion to the store of knowledge.  I will feel more confident and comfortable to cite giants, because their great names make my small contribution more recognizable.
Think that the contribution to the legacy of humanity and knowledge is individual is pathological, result of the neoliberal biopolitics. Quote is just for smalls, mediums and giants. Established the ranking is based on an order of colonial, patriarchal, elitist and neoliberal rules.
Thanks alot for your answer.
