I just saw this quote in my FB newsfeed this morning, so thought I'd check it out. Seems that there's two copies of that quote on here, with the second being an abbreviated version of the first:
Eric Roth -
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2758...
F. Scott Fitzgerald -
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/6266...
Now I've done some research on this and the one by Eric Roth is correct:
http://www.falmouthpubliclibrary.org/...
Now I believe that these should be merged and I don't believe that it's something that I can do myself (in fact, I know very little about quotes apart from editing textual errors - it's something that doesn't appear in the librarian manual).

Fixed attribution.
There is a dedicated sticky thread for this stuff in "issues with quotes".

Thanks & sorry - last time I posted in there for some reason my request was skipped so thought it was safer this way.

I've just noticed that. And removed it. Sorry.
