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."
This ridiculous garbage made it to the front page of reddit: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/35632...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.

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.

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

Thanks love!!
Sorry, I tried to add a quote from Matched by Ally Condie but accidentally put in Aly Condie instead of Ally Condie. I realized right away but couldn't go back in to edit it, please help-thanks!

And merge these two: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/27542...
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/27542...
The latter is a part of the former quote.
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!!

Hi, I'm just starting and I typed the quote in wrong. It is the only quote I have on my new author page. Can someone please delete it?http://www.goodreads.com/author/quote...
Thanks!
Vicki wrote: "Hi, I'm just starting and I typed the quote in wrong. It is the only quote I have on my new author page. Can someone please delete it?"Gone. You can re-add it. If anyone else had 'liked' it we would have had to edit it rather than delete it.
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
author page: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Thanks for any help!
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?

The following quote by Robert Frost comes from his poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening": http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2377-...

I've corrected dhampires to dhampirs and have combined the two identical quotes.

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 Goodreads app on my Facebook Page displays only my quote and no others, so mine seems nonsensical. Thanks very much!

This quote from Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore https://www.goodreads.com/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: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7634...
I RARELY work with quotes - is there a way to combine the two into the correct version?
Combining is easy. However, it will keep the one with more likes, so in this case that still means editing.
All fixed.
All fixed.
Please can the quote under my name be deleted? Here is the link. Thank you in advance!http://www.goodreads.com/author/quote...
There's an error in this quote:http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/47769...
It should read, "... in all of history men have been taught ...".
Thanks!
