1) This quote has bad formatting and is not even a quote, it should be deleted https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7597....

2) This quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7597303 should be added to this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Thank you!

Hi Neither

It wouldn't have been intentionally ignored, but it looks like people have deleted some comments out of this thread, which makes the thread really difficult for librarians to follow. Sorry about that.

I will have to leave this I don't speak the language, but I didn't want you to feel ignored. :)

Please delete following quote: "[la Reconquista] Es el hecho más influyente de la Historia de Europa y del mundo. No ha habido otro caso en el que, después de que un territorio significativo fuera conquistado por el islam —o por otra civilización—, sometido y profundamente transformado por esa civilización foránea, con casi todos sus habitantes convertidos a una religión extranjera, finalmente, siglos después, fuera recuperado por los pequeños vestigios del reino originalmente conquistado."

in "En defensa de España: Desmontando mitos y leyendas negras"

I have already reintroduced the correct quote. This one can be deleted.

It's better to combine/merge duplicate quotes, rather than deleting them. That way the likes are not lost.

Updated text:

“Se o nosso planeta pode ser consideravelmente melhorado, então não por religiosos, pessoas que anseiam por uma vida melhor num mundo imaginário, mas livres-pensadores, pessoas que não fogem da realidade e não são guiadas por superstições, e sim pela razão, pois é ela que gera a lucidez produtora de ideias coerentes e sensatas.”

Hello, I added a quote and just noticed a small typo. I don't see an edit button anywhere so can you please correct it for me?

The full quote is below with the correction at the end. Thanks!

“I climbed the wide stone steps to the museum and walked in. As soon as you are through the doors, the air changes. It is softer. The building has the ability to wrap itself around you, making you feel safe. All the animosity if the street is left outside, for everyone in there has come for the same reason. To be humbled by art.”
― Carrie Adams, The Godmother

It should be "All the animosity OF the street"

Hello. I would like the following quotes to be removed because they are from the movie adaptations and are not by Tolkien.
EDIT: I realized that it would probably be simpler to change the author to Peter Jackson than to remove the quotes entirely. Could you please edit these?

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3126...
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7018...

This quote has also been erroneously attributed to Tolkien. Could you please remove this?

The top quote is correct, the other 4 are the same quote with minor errors in them; could you please delete those? Thanks!

This quote is wrongly attributed to Thomas Paine. It is well known that "give me liberty or give me death" are Patrick Henry's words.

Please remove this quote:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7018...

That is not a quote by Gandalf from any part of the books, only from the movie. It is a paraphrasing of Frodo's vision of Valinor as well as his subsequent actual arrival there.

Thank you

Could you please remove this quote or change the author to Peter Jackson?
This is from the movie The Two Towers, and Tolkien never wrote it.

Thank you.

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! :)

I'm not an expert, but I have recently reread The Hobbit through The Two Towers and am a good chunk into RotK.

After some checking back through my edition of The Hobbit, I agree with TolkienFangirl that the following two quotes are misquotes from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), and NOT from any of Tolkien's written works. (The movie states 'Saruman believes,' not 'some believe')

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4763...
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7275...

However, both versions of the quote have accumulated many likes, so this would seem to require a superlibrarian.

I'm not a superlibrarian, so I can't delete them, but I did edit and attribute the quotes to Peter Jackson.

[Sherry]

Hello, could you please remove the two quotes on this page:

They are duplicated, and I'd like to change the author tag (apparently most are tagged with only "Cressida Cowell" and no author behind it)!
Thank you!

Hi, when I added this quote I wasn't able to find the book which belongs to it, so I would like to correct it. The name of the book is "La Pista de Hielo", or "The Skating Rink", but it would be nice if you could add the Spanish one since it is the original.
Thanks.

Added "The Skating Rink" to the quote.
It is not possible to add a different edition than the default edition to a quote.

Still waiting with #696. Is someone going back to get the missed ones, or were they skipped for some reason?

I deleted the 3 without likes; one extra remains with 2 likes, which has to be dealt with by a super I think.
