“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”

Why are you using the username account to (re)post trivial determination-signaling quotes? If you are afraid that this will be downvoted, that's because you realize that it is no good, in which case you shouldn't post it. If not, why don't you use your own account?

Downvotes are not 100% correlated with bad content.

In general, sure, there are several reasons why something might be downvoted. But for that comment, the only one I could see any relevance of is that it is a bad quote.
