message 251: by Margaret (new)

Margaret Lesh (mclesh) | 4 comments Hello! A kind reader added a quote from my book but in so doing spelled two of the words wrong. It currently reads, "crule requrement."

Can someone fix this for me? It would be most appreciated!

All best,

Margaret Lesh

❄️ Propertea Of Frostea ❄️ Bitter SnoBerry ❄ (berrynumey) | 848 comments Internal quote editing to this: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1342-...

The words of the fox haven't been quoted as in the book, this is the quote:

"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

So much face palm. Please delete.

Different translators, different editions, quotes from tv & radio adaptations, people thinking they know what the quote is, people who just get it wrong...

Done, and a few more versions combined as well.

Stephanie (steff7588) | 4 comments Hi! I am not a super Librarian yet ... so I need some help from someone who is :)

This quote needs to go with the book "Unapologetically You" NOT "Life, the Truth, and Being Free"

I was the one who added the quote, but now I can't edit.

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/31894...

Please adjust for me :) It will be much appreciated!!

Laura | 6 comments Sorry, I tried to add a quote from Matched by Ally Condie

It isn't written that way in the book... :/

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/27542...
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/27542...
The latter is a part of the former quote.

Banjomike | 5166 comments # 272, fixed.
# 273, those two are different enough to be left.


message 272: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarahstokes) | 38 comments Could a librarian please amend the attribution for this quote?

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/searc...

(sorry, I don't know how to give you a more direct link).

The correct attribution is: Beneath The Surface of Clive Barker's Abarat
(the author Clive Barker is correct).

Many thanks!!

Gone. You can re-add it. If anyone else had 'liked' it we would have had to edit it rather than delete it.

message 282: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn Knight | 10 comments I'm thrilled a reader quoted my book, but I'm hoping the quote can somehow link back to the book it's from or me as the author. The current tag kathryn-knight takes it to a different author of same name.

Quote: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/79780...

Book it is from: Gull Harbor

Gull Harbor by Kathryn Knight

author page: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Thanks for any help!


message 283: by Renee (new)

Renee I accidently added a quote that was already there, but I spelled something wrong, so can it just be deleted? But the duplicated quote had spelling mistakes anyway, so can that be fixed?
The 'e' in dhampirs needs to be backspaced. Sorry!
Thanks.

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/80558...


and this one needs to be re-formatted but it's the same quote as the one up there, but more people have liked it. So maybe merging them?

I've corrected dhampires to dhampirs and have combined the two identical quotes.
Quote can be found here: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/80549...

Quote is now attributed to you Kathryn sourced as Gull Harbor.


message 287: by Gretchen (new)

Gretchen Geser | 4 comments Please delete my quote on my author page: “Stories may also be about animals who are uncomfortable. (See Lisa Cron's quote below.)� This quote only makes sense if people also see Lisa Cron's quote, which they do on my author page. But clicking the ŷ app on my Facebook Page displays only my quote and no others, so mine seems nonsensical. Thanks very much!

message 296: by Vicky (new)

Vicky (vickyl) | 21 comments This quote from Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore /quotes/4492... is mis-entered. I've looked it up in my edition and it should be "Walking the stacks in a library, dragging your fingers across the spines...." (currently says "...running your finger down the spines...")

The quote is entered correctly in this version: /quotes/7634...

I RARELY work with quotes - is there a way to combine the two into the correct version?


message 297: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Combining is easy. However, it will keep the one with more likes, so in this case that still means editing.

All fixed.
