Hello, I've actually mixed 2 quotes in one but these 2 bears 2 different stuffs. Page : https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...
This page's 4th quotes it needs to be changed
From : "The study of the universe as a whole is a unique enterprise. At least in one sense one is seeking to understand the totality of things. We, as thinking beings, are as much a part of the universe as are neutron stars and white dwarfs and our destiny is inextricably bound up with that of the universe."

Hello, I have a couple of changes that need to be made to the following quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9961...
1 - The word that follows “Thieves’ Gold lighting” needs to be “our”.
2 - There needs to be a period instead of a comma behind the word cheek in the final paragraph of the quote.
Thank you!

#866. Could you please link to the exact quote rather than the entire page of quotes? I like to be sure I'm editing the correct quote. :)
The quote attributed to Th. Adorno is spurious, despite having been widely circulated (namely by a famous PETA ad): "Auschwitz begins wherever someone looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks: they’re only animals.”

I just liked the following quote from A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8270...However, I noticed there were a few typos in it:
1) "You simple failed to realiza that that kind of love..." should be "You simply failed to realize that that kind of love..." (lines 4-5)
2) "...from White London, and Black London, and f rom you." should be "...from White London, and Black London, and from you." (lines 7-8)
Please could this be fixed? Thanks in advance!

Can you remove the tag from this quote? I added it on but would rather leave a tag off so readers can interpret it as they wish.

That is a very old quote of unknown original origin. That book certainly is not it. Deleted.

Hello.A couple of quotes have appeared on one of my anthologies.
https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes...
They are attributed to me as editor, but they should be attributed to the authors of the stories they come from.
Question about adding a quote: When I try to post a quote from my book, I enter my name, but the book title doesn't show up as one of the options. Twenty books by other authors with the same name appear. How can I add my book? It worked a couple of times, but not anymore. Thanks!
877 Quotes can only be attributed to the primary author of a book.878 To separate authors with the same name we use extra spaces and those spaces are also needed when adding a quote. You have 3 spaces between your names.
Hello, the t on the word "tears" near the end of this quote needs to be capitalized.https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9988...
Thanks for your time!
The poem "Life Is But A Weaving (Tapestry)" has been incorrectly attributed to Corrie Ten Boom (741391).https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7413...
While she quoted this poem in her writings, she referred to it as "author unknown". The author is, in fact, Grant Colfax Tullar, and the poem's correct title is "The Weaver".

I was just checking to see if you wrote something that should be on an author profile for you, then we could move it there.
I've deleted it for now.
Hi,There's a typo in this quote. At the beginning of the last sentence, where it says "under you foot", it should say "your" rather than "you". https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1239...
