#316 no, it has likes and we don't delete quotes with likes.
Why do you want it deleted? Is there anything to correct?

[☕ Lachgas ♿]

But it's a quote by you just not in your book?
I could remove the link to the book

Hi. Could someone please delete these two quotes? https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4763... and https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7275...

They are both falsely attributed to Tolkien himself, when in fact they are just slightly altered versions of a quote from the first Hobbit film. I don't want these lies to be spread any further. Thanks in advance! :)

Hello! I need help fixing a typo in a quote I added a couple of hours ago.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9379...

It should say "hate" instead of "have". Thank you very much!!

[Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂]

#621 Done, but there is a newish rule of no more than 10 tags per quote. This includes any edits to existing quotes. So I saved with 2 tags. If you want 8 more tags & can't add yourself, please request here & a librarian will add them for you.
#622 Leaving for a superlibrarian, as it has a couple of likes.
#623 Done by another librarian.
#624 Leaving for a tolkein expert
#625 done

Hello, can you please remove the extra word "There" at the end of this quote? https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8539...

[Karma♥Bites ^.~]

Please merge/delete first 3 quotes @ https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/sear...

Technically, missing/incorrect inner quotes; should read/be written as:

“ ‘Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are’ is true enough, but I’d know you better if you told me what you reread.”

TIA :-)

[Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂]

#629 & #630 have been taken care of by someone.
#631 Removed the extra word.

Thucydides quote needs to be corrected: “It is useless to attack a man who could not be controlled even if conquered, while failure would leave us in an even worse position.” (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2674...). It’s from a speech (Thucydides 6.11.1) where the Athenians are debating whether to attack the city of Syracuse in Sicily, so the original says “it is useless to attack men”. See http://perseus.uchicago.edu/perseus-c.... Putting it in the singular changes the meaning of the quote.

Done, Neville.

[Taylor]

Please edit this quote to show to correct book.

“Bast looked down at the two men. After a moment he began to laugh too. It was a terrible sound, jagged and joyless. It was no human laugh.”

The correct book is "The Wise Man's Fear", not "The Time Machine".

Bump #632 request

I edited 2 others & may have combined(?), but can neither edit nor combine these 2 (too many likes = locked?), especially the one attributed to wrong person (Trista Day)

TIA

[Lesli]

Two quotes need combining:

Hi Charlotte there is a newish rule that quotes can only have a maximum of 10 tags, so to add your book titles I had to delete some tags. I left both books at 9 tags, so if there is another tag you would like added & you can't do it yourself, please let a Librarian know.

Book titles added. :)

[Laura]

Hello. Please connect the three quotes on this book https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes... to the Engineering Eden novel that has ratings, reviews, etc. I'm not sure why there are two options for the Engineering Eden novel in the search drop down bar and when trying to quote the book/author.

Or if it won't let you change the quotes to the correct goodreads page, please delete them--I'll re-add them with the other Engineering Eden selected on the quote-writing page. Thank you!

One edition of this book wasn't combined with the others. I've now combined them. It may take a few minutes for the quotes to show up on all editions.

We do not remove valid quotes with likes.

the following quotes are actually by Mario de Andrade, from his poem, My Soul Has A Hat

not by Confucius,

not a chinese proverb,

Hello, I have no idea how this quote got to be linked to my author page. I haven't included this in my book so I don't know how it turned up. As much as I like the quote, I don't think it should be attributed to me? Can someone please help me remove the quote?

[Jen]

Hi,

Could someone remove the quote that shows up on my profile page as by me? It most certainly is not from my book, and it's offensive, so I'd like it removed or attributed to the correct person (NOT ME).

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thank you so much!

[Abcdarian]

#658: Moved from your page.

[Mario the lone bookwolf]

Hi!

I added a wrong written quote (2 times, I have to become more accurate) on this profile page.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I noticed that "calls" was written wrong in the first 2 postings.

Could you please remove the 2 wrong quotes?

Thank you very much.

Regards

Mario

We can't link quotes to a specific edition. The default (most shelved) edition will show on the quote page. The edition you linked to is listed as an edition of the one the quote is now attached to.

(The edition that was earlier linked to it was a graphic novel adaptation, that was incorrectly combined with some other editions.)
