i mean they're not their quotes. it's technically against the rules because it's not theirs. and i don't care about the whole against the rules thing but it really is unoriginal and they're pretending its their quote or whatever. it's not annoying like "these quotes are bad" its like "these aren't yours stop pretending they are." idk.

Nowhere in the rules does it say that taking a quote that is not yours is against the rules. If that was the case, people who post song lyrics or maybe line from a book are breaking the rules, because the quote is not theirs.
Not many people pretend that it is their quote, really. Most of them have something like 'tumblr' or 'nmq' in the tags, so they aren't stealing it or anything.
While it is unoriginal, you can't exactly stop them from taking it.
You can be annoyed at it, but you can't make them stop posting those quotes.

You aren't. Other people have complained about it to - and like I said, that is completely fine. Be annoyed if you want to be, but you can't make people not posts the quotes.
The best thing to do is ignore people who you see posts lots of tumblr quotes and scroll past the other ones.
This website was made for quotes in general, really.

While it is true that people taking quotes from tumblr is annoying, and while it is true that people are not being very original anymore, they are still, in fact, posting quotes.
It is not against the rules to get quotes from tumblr, so the people taking them aren't really doing anything bad.
Taking a quote from tumblr, no matter how annoying you may think it to be, is the same as taking one from a book/TV show/movie/song/video. The only difference is is that there are more from there than the other ones.
