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.

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

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

and this quote
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9877...
to this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... ?
I accidentally chose the wrong book by the author from the available options.

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’

The second to last word should be "near" not "hear."

This one has incorrect wording

Correct wording in this quote
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7804...

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.

It was in the galley but did not make it into the final edition of the book.

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.

I allow you to delete the two other quotes, even with likes. I rewrited them in new versions. The old one don't have more sense according to state of the art.
Thank you in advance for your help.

We don't delete valid quotes with likes, but we can correct them if you let us know how they need to be edited.

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


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.


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!

Could someone please add a book title to the quote below?"
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.

Correct.

It is not. It should be listed under wherever it appeared first.
