Sometimes there are other motives.
One of my favorite misattributions was this deliciously ironic juxtaposition Edward Abbey printed on the cover of his college newspaper:
"Man Will Never Be Free Until the Last King Is Strangled With the Entrails of the Last Priest. –LOUISA MAY ALCOTT" [1]
Actual source: Denis Diderot.
Pretty hilarious.
