message 802: by Mubtasim (new)

Mubtasim Fuad (mubtasim-fuad) | 44 comments “I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.”
― J.K. Rowling
This quote is actually from `Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix`(film).
Edit this source here: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8400...
And then please merge them all:

message 803: by Kristin (new)

Kristin | 52 comments Hello, could someone please change the book name that this quote was found in? The website decided to add on two different books. Here is the quote;

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9853...

This quote was from "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck" by Mark Manson. It has nothing to do with the book titled "How to be Fucking Awesome" by Dan Meredith. If you could please take out that last book title that would be appreciated.

I don't know that I understand. Is the quote you just listed from the movie?
What is the real quote?
I took "Edit this source here" to mean something different I think.


message 805: by Emily (new)

Emily | 17452 comments #815 I changed the book to just the first one.

#814
The quote is actually from the movie `Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix`, not from the book.
In the book `Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix`, there exists only:
"The world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters".

That's why I am requesting to edit the quote's source here:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8400...
(Cuz, the quote is not from 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban')
TIA


message 807: by Andrea (new)

Andrea | 20 comments Found a few Oscar Wilde quotes that need editing:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9920...
Should be "Hearts are made to be broken". The quote is from De Profundis, Loc. 230

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/317-...
Please add the book, it's from De Profundis, Loc. 332

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/6638...
Should be "With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?" (Wrong word order). Please also add that the quote is also from De Profundis, Loc. 524

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3067...
Should be "To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."
Please also add that it is from The Importance of Being Earnest

anolta | 20 comments https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7381...

Please delete this quote. It has been wrongly attributed to Plath many years ago. It comes from the, now deactivated, tumblr “incorrect Sylvia Plath quotes” and has been labeled Plath ever since and shared numerous times. It still doesn't make it Plath though. Checked all of her available works and asked some of her scholars. It’s definitely not hers.
Thank you’

Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books or editions. Please see https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... and https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Quotes from said books would also not be deleted.

T.D. Whittle (twhittle) | 10 comments This quote, which is everywhere on the Internet, has been wrongly attributed to Albert Camus: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7668...

He did say the one line about invincible summer, but here is the correct version, translated from the French: "O light! This is the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.” ~ From his lyrical essay "Return to Tipasa", in the 1954 book "Summer". The rest of the quote has nothing to do with him.

message 820: by Vladan (new)

Vladan Kuzmanovic (vladan_kuzmanovic) | 8 comments I wonder could you adjust my quote to: Zato umesto sistema teorija, uvodimo teorije sistema, umesto umetnosti sistema, uvodimo sisteme umetnosti.

And:

U trenutku postmodernizma savremenost nije sistem citat.

And into:
U nizu koncepata pojavile su se jedne takve tendencije, moderniteta koji se odriče modaliteta, narativa, instrumenata, citata, apsurda. Uvažavajući imedijativnu emociju, kao da emocija, kao savremenost može biti šta drugo, osim imedijacija.

Thanks.

Quotes that do not meet Goodreads guidelines may be removed at any time, and will be as Goodreads Librarians find them.


message 841: by Stephane (new)

Stephane Nappo Thank you for your feedback. These quotes are all original and independent. They are published in my only name on Linkedin for example, in many thesys and many websites on Internet, you can check with Google. What has been the precise cause of this removal?

Emily | 17452 comments Stephane wrote: "What has been the precise cause of this removal?"
It doesn't matter if the quotes are in other places. On Goodreads you have to be a notable person or author to have a quote. Here's the guideline:

Only enter quotes from notable people. Generally, a person is notable if they have been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

Kristin | 52 comments Hello,
Could someone please add a book title to the quote below?

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3782...

The book this quote was found in is: Game of Crowns: Elizabeth, Camilla, Kate, and the Throne by Christopher Andersen

Thank you!

If we know that a real person said the quote, we usually attribute the quote to that person rather than to the book about them. If they aren't the author, then the book will not show in the options.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Kristin | 52 comments Hi, I found the following quote below this book: "Read Something Else" by Lemony Snicket. I assume he has used the same quote in two books now as this quote was already listed under another title. I wonder would it be possible to add both book titles to the quote?
