Please edit or correct or delete this quote. (part 5)
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but how can I attribute a quote to a certain book of mine? I don't see that option on the quote entry page.
#309: Elizabeth wrote: "Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but how can I attribute a quote to a certain book of mine? I don't see that option on the quote entry page."As your author profile uses 3 spaces between your first and last names for differentiation, when you add your name to the quote you need to enter it that way: Elizabeth^^^Brown, where ^ stands for a space. You should then get to select from a list of your books.

https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes...The first quote (about hell and snow) is from a TV adaptation of the novel, but is not actually from the novel.
Hi, Can someone delete the first quote on this link? https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...
The last one is the correct quote. The first one has a missing "it". I am a librarian and I'm not sure how to delete it? Can someone tell me?
Thanks.
Hi, can someone take away the "I" at the end of this quote?https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8580...
For some reason, whenever I share from this book from my Kindle, the first word of the next sentence also is added to the quote, even if I haven't highlighted it.
Thanks.
#321 Done.Looks like #320 must have been done by someone.
#319: Too many "likes" for me to do anything with.

Agreed. I've attributed it to the author of the screenplay.
Could somebody please correct the source of this quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8584...It's from M.R. Carey's The Boy on the Bridge (Chapter 60) - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I tried to add this quote on the book's page but it ended up just floating around rather then attributed to the book.
Thanks!

There was no space between the author's initials and last name. I've corrected the author name, which also provided a list of the books by this author. Added the correct book to the quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8584...
Message 312 has been missed - my fault as I messed up the coding.Here is the quote

“And as you walk yr road, as you live yr life, RELISH THE ROAD. And relish the fact that the road of yr life will probably be a windy road.”
Can this quote be edited?
I've looked this quote up online and every example I found was like this (all caps & yr instead of your)
“This is my very own Composition from POEMS TO AWAKEN YOUR SOUL in STORIES PEOPLE LOVE:THE FUTURE WORLD DESCRIBED BY DANIEL [Daniel Chapter 2]
The above quote is for "Your Time is Now: A Time to be born and a time to die." and was quoted in error for "Stories People Love." Please delete it completely.
In any of the books of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series there is no such quote:https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/525254
It looks like it is not even Douglas Adams', but an misattributed slightly altered version of this:

Please merge. GR is timing out when I try to combine Gaiman quotes.https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2141...

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7559...
Made two little typos in this quote here: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8686...It would be 'at least that way' instead of 'at way'. And 'definitively' instead of 'definitely'.

Please change the book to "Nine Lives" and add commas to "Will he make a fool of me, wreck my image of myself, invade me, destroy me, change me?" Thank you.“It is hard to meet a stranger. Even the greatest extravert meeting even the meekest stranger knows a certain dread, though he may not know he knows it. Will he make a fool of me wreck my image of myself invade me destroy me change me? Yes, that he will. There's the terrible thing: the strangeness of the stranger.”

#350 done. Not sure how to combine quotes, so #343 and #344 are not done yet
Can this quote be removed, please? I'm not sure why it was posted. I did get the highway wrong in this sentence, but it has since been corrected. Thanks in advance.https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...
I have a typo in a recent quote I added from Bruce Catton's Coming Fury. If you could remove it, I would appreciate it. I'll add it again later once I've corrected it. Here's a link:https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes...

In general -as you only have a single name there's no way to seperate books as GR use spaces between first and last name to do this.
