Explanation:

The quotation marks (") are punctuation marks used for different purposes, that include marking the title of short works such as poems, articles or chapters or marking certain words, but the main and most common purpose of quotation marks is to mark someone else words or speech in direct quotations, this means the quotation marks show the exact words said by someone and that differ from the words of the author of the text. Because of this, most quotations are introduced by mentioning the name of the person that said the words in quotation and these words are connected to the author's ideas.

Considering this, in the sentence "Will Rogers once said I’d a lot rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it" the "I’d a lot rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it" should be in quotation marks as these are the words of Will Rogers and not of the author of the text which should be recognized for the reader to know which ideas belong to the author and which ideas belong to other people. Thus, the sentence should be changed as quotation marks are needed to separate the words of Will Rogers from the ideas of the author of the text.

the irony is that the name has ''fortunate'' in it, but the kid named fortunato is not fortunate to be named that.
