Please let me know if there is a more appropriate place to post this.
My post is regarding these two quotes. Both are misattributed.
/quotes/1632...
/quotes/1246...
I believe this misquote quote originates from the 2003 film version of I Capture the Castle.
The full film quote is “There's only the last page left to write on. I'll fill it with words of just one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.�
Script:
My copy of I Capture the Castle, the book (a second edition from 1948) includes the following quote which ends the novel: “Only the margin left to write on now. I love you, I love you, I love you.� The "I love. I have loved. I will love" version does not appear elsewhere in the book.
This article in the Guardian is further evidence that recent publications include the "I love you, I love you, I love you" quote:
I’ve found no evidence of this quote or anything resembling it in either the book or the movie script of Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveller’s Wife. I'm not sure where this misattribution originated.
Book text:
Film Transcript:
Could you please remove these incorrect/misattributed quotes from each authors pages?
Thanks,
Charlotte

Could you please add the book name to this quote? It is "The Poppy Wife: A Novel of the Great War"

(Misattributed - this is NOT a quote by me, but by Robert Brault. Again, I have no idea where this came from because I definitely didn't add it.)
Thank you! :)

#5 Done
#7 I moved it to the other author and added the book.
#8 I corrected the second one and deleted the first one.
#9 Done
#10 Since you added it and it had no likes, I removed it.

Please delete the following quotes. My assistant was in charge of updating my quotes, some from my speaking engagements. I would like to have them taken down for various reasons (grammar, not sure I said that etc...). Thank you :)

12 - Done, now looking into the many duplicates of this author
13 - Would it be possible to correct the errors rather than completely deleting the quote? We prefer to edit rather than delete. I would correct it myself, but I'm not fluent in Arabic.


The last three quotes on this page were added by me /work/quotes...
and I would like them to be moved to this book /work/quotes...
Thanks.

/work/quotes...
There are three instances of this quote, "“Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts."
Not only are there three instances of that quote, but it was Robert Fulghum who said that. The author of this book merely quoted him in her book.

Duplicate requests have been removed. To avoid confusion, please only post requests once. For quotes, that means either a post in this thread OR a (single) separate thread -- not both.
If a day or two have gone by with no reply, it's fine to bump your request up by responding to your own thread. ŷ Librarians are volunteers, and some requests may take some time to get a reply.

Would you be so nice to edit this quote: /quotes/7895... by adding the book where it is coming from: /book/show/5...
Thank you,

As Shown: "... This strange doctrine is not supported by statute not common law. Neither individuals not corporations ..."
Should be: "... This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations ..."
Thank you.

Dank je, Renske :-)

I just added a Henning Mankell quote to my list of quotes. It's at the bottom of my list, page 2: /quotes/list...
But unlike the other Mankell quotes on the list, my quote doesn't have the book title as a link. How do I make the book title a link on mine? I like the link coz it takes you to a list of quotes that were taken from the particular book.
Thanks!

Done.

Please, the last part of the sentence should be 'the fountain from which it draws its strength.'

Please correct this also
Should read 'when you start embarking on a journey, not mission.

Thank you!

When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.
It is attributed to him incorrectly in ŷ.

I have already added another quote with the correct Drew Hayes.

No likes so deleted. If it happens again, just post here & a librarian will be happy to move to the correct author for you. :)

“just stared. “Thanks.� I smiled. Beautiful? Really? Keeley yelled, “Close the door! It’s freezing.� “Oh, sorry,� he said and got in the back. He handed me a card, “Happy birthday.� We all had a great dinner. Everyone but Desi got steak.�
How did that even become a quote on my page?? Also, someone recently changed the cover of this book to an older version. I did not change it, but I can't change it back.
This is the incorrect cover: /book/show/3...
This is the correct cover: /book/show/4...

1. the author can change the default edition:
2. Paperback editions use ISBNs. Kindle editions use ASIN. I took the ISBN off of the old Kindle edition and put it on the matching paperback edition as used on Amazon.
3. ŷ adds new covers, but does not delete out of print editions. I think these are straight now, except for making the default edition

/work/quo..."
And I changed the parenthesis to brackets, because ŷ thinks parentheses in the title field denote a series.


No likes so I have removed the quote.
Anyone can add a quote from an author's book. I think some of them are from highlighting on kindles.
Just post here if it happens again. :)

Thank you!
