It's attributed to Jane Austen, but it's actually from the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie, not from the book. Is a quote from a movie acceptable according to Goodreads guidelines? Even if it is, it should be attributed to the Deborah Moggach, who wrote the screenplay, right?
Thanks in advance!"
Done. All combined here:

Deleted.
What about the other two quotes attributed to you? Do they need removing as well?

Please delete this quote: https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...(And I know this probably isn't the right place to post this, but the author of the quote does not exist either.)
Appears to be a Biblical quote, rather than a quote from the author.https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes...

Thank you for removing them. But when I go to my book's page, the quotes are still there. Are they going to be removed too?

Gone now. Author pages are heavily cached, so things are slow to happen there.
Thank you please can this also be deleted or can I please edit it https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8804...

Please can we then change the word - where to when (I thank God for removing the toxic people from my life, in the times when I could not find the strength to remove them myself.) , as it contains a grammar error.

Hi Tom
The copyright page of this book states that it was written by Joan Powers, not by A.A. Milne. The cover states that A.A. Milne provided the inspiration. The correct author attribution is, therefore, Joan Powers.
You can check it out for yourself using the "Look Inside" feature on its Amazon page, and also on its Worldcat page.
that one https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3823... seems to be some sort of internet meme (as far as I could find out now)Should that stay or be deleted?
I was wondering if someone could delete the following quote please:https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3520...
The reason that I ask for it to be deleted is because it is attributed to Sartre, but he is not the one that wrote this. It appears in the intro of one of his novels, which some other guy wrote, and I cannot find anywhere where Sartre said this. Other people who have quoted this passage correctly specifically refer to the intro in a specific printing of the novel, thus directly referring to the input of another man, Hayden Carruth. Thus, considering that this quote does not appear anywhere in the novel, it should not even be associated to the novel, as it only appears in a specific printing of the novel as an introduction, which was written by Hayden Carruth.

Could you please remove this quote (just posted, zero likes):https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9238...
After posting I found there were several versions of this novel and it shouldn't have been attached to this particular one.
Thanks!
Looking for assistance to correct this quotehttps://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7165...
Should read:
"You have me. Until the last star in the galaxy dies. You have me."
(553) It was supposed to go with the main entry for Ethan Frome (Edith Wharton) that has something 4.4K reviews and has all the other quotes: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...Or you could delete it and I'd repost - whatever's easier.
Thanks.
Would someone please delete the thirteen quotes from Ritual that are just vocabulary words? And can only super librarians do this? And I so want to be a super librarian. How can I become one? Thanks a lot!

Just click on"0 likes" under the quote & that will take you to a page that has a link on the right that says edit quotes.

I combined the wayward editions of Ethan Frome, including the one your quote linked to, with the main edition. Your quote is now linked to the main listing.
