message 951: by Emily (new)

Emily | 3 comments Hello, I noticed some typos with this quote by Mark Twain from The Mysterious Stranger. In the first line it should read, "good children as easily as bad' instead of "a bad". And a little later, "his angels" instead of "is angels".

I looked up a few quote sources that seem to have the same wording as here for the first one. The second one appears to have been corrected by someone else I'll leave this for someone more knowledgeable about Twain to decide. :)

Christina ✨ (caprivoyant) | 3 comments Hi! I typo'd while adding this quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1020...

It's supposed to say 'far fewer' not 'ar fewer'

Thanks in advance. ♥️

"Barney too, hm?"

( I nodded, along for the ride. ) <-- to add as it's own paragraph

"And I think" ...

Do either Freya Turrill or Maggie Morven have any published books? I am not seeing any by either on Goodreads.

Hi, I'm the new kid in the library. So, of course, I made the mistake of adding these quotes to my author profile:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...

They're from my blog--don't ask. Just please delete them as soon as humanly possible.

Thanks, Librarians!

Robin Meade (robinmeade) | 3 comments I put in one of my own quotes and would like to add the hashtag #fiercewholeness to it... how do I do that?

Do you want to put that in the tag link or the hashtag inside the quote itself?


message 965: by Azniv (new)

Azniv | 4 comments Please correct this quote. Auto correct messed me up.

America is not, not has it ever been, the world's full-service homeless shelter.”
Michelle Malkin

The correct quote should be:

America is not, nor has it ever been, the world's full-service homeless shelter.

The fourth word in the sentence should be changed from not to nor.

Thank you.

message 969: by Alex (new)

Alex (alexmichc) | 6 comments QUOTE EDIT: Richard W Keyserlingk's quote starting with
"It is clearly in evidence that the science of creating & transmitting public opinion under the influence of collective emotion...", is incorrectly attributed. The correct author is Benjamin Kidd.

Will someone edit the author to read Benjamin Kidd? Very sorry - I was looking at the wrong footnote when typing.

Kristin | 52 comments Hello, can you please make the following changes to this quote:https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1016...


In paragraph 5, the second sentence needs a period at the end of it and not a comma.

In paragraph 5, the sixth sentence needs to read like this: "we got the take" instead of "we got to take".

Thank you!


message 971: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Sloom (sarahvalerie) | 4 comments Hi, is it possible to edit this quote:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1024...

All that needs changed is the first "You" should be a "You've" to read "You've gotta figure out the world around you if you ever want to figure out your place in it, man.”

Thank you!

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments It was me. My note should read 992 not 982.
