Frank Ocean’s Boys Don’t Cry album magazine includes a futuristic sci-fi screenplay he wrote called ‘Godspeed,’ which he said is “basically a reimagined part of my boyhood.” The screenplay has Ocean’s fingerprints all over it. But part of it also has the fingerprints of another author, C. JoyBell C.—the most frequently quoted author on Goodreads.

In Scene 2 of ‘Godspeed,’ a character receives a text about the idea of “perfection” and how it can corrupt the male psyche into seeking out and fixating on a woman’s sole imperfection. Here’s the quote in full:

Another thought on perfection. The only problem with her is that she is too perfect. She is bad in a way that entices, and good in a way that comforts. She is mischief but then she is the warmth of home. The dreams of the wild and dangerous but the memories of childhood and gladness. She is perfection. And when given something perfect, it is the nature of man to dedicate his mind to finding something wrong with it and then when he is able to find something wrong with it, he rejoices in his find, and sees only the flaw, becoming blind to everything else! And this is why man is never given anything that is perfect, because when given the imperfect and the ugly, man will dedicate his mind to finding what is good with the imperfect and upon finding one good thing with the extremely flawed, he will only see the one good thing, and no longer see everything else that is ugly. And so…man complains to God for having less than what he wants…but this is the only thing that man can handle. Man cannot handle what is perfect. It is the nature. It is the nature of the mortal to rejoice over the one thing that he can proudly say that he found on his own, with no help from another, whether it be a shadow in a perfect diamond, or a faint beautiful reflection in an extremely dull mirror.

It turns out that this “thought on perfection” is actually C. JoyBell C.’s thought on perfection, originally published in Vade Mecum, a book of collected quotes sold as “an indispensable source of beauty, truth and wisdom.” The original author of the quote, however, is not credited in Ocean’s Boys Don’t Cry magazine.

According to C. JoyBell C.’s personal website, she is no stranger to being quoted by stars, such as Demi Lovato and Paris Hilton. She even says in the FAQ section on her site that she’s happy to be quoted—as long as she is properly credited.

May I quote your words in my book for publication? Yes, you may quote me in your book/s without requesting an invoice. This is the only form of commercial use that is allowed. However, this does not mean that you may use my words as your own writing incorporated into your own books. I must in fact be properly quoted, with reference given to my pen name, “C. JoyBell C.”

Reached for comment over Facebook, C. JoyBell C. was unaware that Ocean had used her quote in his story and was disappointed that she hadn’t been credited. She tells Genius:

I do not allow use of my work if integrating into other people’s work as if it is their own. There has to be clear reference that I am the one who originally said/wrote it. In short, I am not happy to be plagiarized. There are many simple ways to not make something look like it came from your own mind when it in fact came from another’s.

It’s possible Ocean had no idea the quote came from C. JoyBell C. Considering he’s reinterpreting his own life in the story he wrote, maybe somebody did actually text it to him once. On the other hand, if you Google “quotes about perfection,” the C. JoyBell C. quote he used can be found in the second result.

Genius reached out to Frank Ocean’s representatives but have not received comment at press time.

UPDATE: Frank Ocean’s representatives have declined to comment.
