If the blog owner finds out they can report you to Instagram for copyright infringement.
 
You wouldn’t be the first to have done it. But you could be reported and your account might get banned. Always give credit when you use other’s items.
 
Google "how to cite on the internet".

If you're afraid that someone will walk away from you because of telling the original source, that's a mistake.
People will find that it's good that you recommend trusted sources to them.
They will see you as a professional for doing so.
 
It depends on the scale you are doing it and the mood of the Zucker team on a given day.
 
Depends on who you're copying from. If it's a blog big enough or your quote goes viral and they have an official IG account, they can report you and take it taken down or worst-case scenario, get you suspended.

So, be careful and maybe modify it a little bit to keep it unique.
 
For someone to report you for copyright infringement they must have documentation that proves the content belongs to them.
Most of the times they dont, normally you can get in trouble by using company logos or other form of protected content.
