message 253: by Shekhar (new)

Shekhar (shekhar23) I added this quote under the incorrect novel. It should be under Neil Gaiman's Sandman: The Doll's House, instead of Sandman: Dream Country. Can anyone help?

"Did I hear you say that you had no intention of ever dying?"

"Um. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. It's a mug's game. I won't have any part of it."

"Then you must tell me what it's like. Let us meet here again, Robert Gadling. In this tavern of the White Horse. In a hundred years."

Abcdarian | 26579 comments #254: Corrected. Another time a link to the quote would be helpful, thanks. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8280...

Shekhar (shekhar23) Certainly. Ty very much!

Sheila (sheilathereader) | 1 comments Hello, I'm currently reading an ARC of this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and tried to link it to this quote - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8361...
“The dead are never still, they exist just beyond the corners of our eye, in the barren wasteland beyond our own phantasmagoria, and we, for the most part, remain oblivious to their plight.”

Unfortunately I linked the quote to this book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - which is a short story by the same author, and also shares the same title. Is it possible to align the quote with the book I am reading, please?


message 266: by Arenda (last edited Mar 22, 2017 09:50AM) (new)

Arenda | 26448 comments #269 That book is not yet available on the quote section. I suspect this is a caching issue. I've removed the short story and will keep an eye on it to see when the book can be linked.

Update: I was now able to add the book to the quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8361...

Can it be deleted?

Thank you!

Amy Marie (amymarie_author) | 10 comments Hello, I accidentally added two of the same quote to my author profile from my book. The one I'd like to delete has the character's name inside the quote and it doesn't look right. Please delete. I wish we could edit them ourselves. Here is the link:

message 275: by Hameed (new)

Hameed (chughtai) | 2 comments Please correct the following author issue.

Correct the author:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7258...

The correct author is Francis Bacon and the quote is mentioned in 'Essays', XXVII “On Friendship” (1612).

Bacon was paraphrasing Aristotle and there is already a quote page for the original text:

Leighbee | 1 comments Please correct the following author field issue:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8389...

I messed up by not entering *just* the author's name in the author field...I should've put the 'interview in 2010' bit right after the quote in brackets: [Chomsky, interview with Chris Hedges in 2010]

Thanks!

I added this quote, but I made accidentally used the Japanese version of 11/22/63 as the source. Could someone change it to the normal version? Thanks!

Is this what you mean? That's the english version.

Brandon | 3 comments Yup! Thanks alot!


message 283: by Shay (new)

Shay (shayreader) Yep:)


message 284: by Brandon (new)

Brandon | 3 comments I actually forgot a portion at the beginning. Could you throw it in so it reads:

"... it would matter ... to the tens of thousands of young Americans ... who would ... be invited to put on uniforms, fly to the other side of the world, spread their nether cheeks, and sit down on the big green dildo that was Vietnam.”

Sorry for the mix up!

Sean Thompson (seanmaliathompson) | 11 comments Hi. The quote is fine, I just need to adjust the formatting so all the lines are the same. Like
it'll do that. I just want all the sentences to look to be in a normal paragraph format.
Thank you.

I'm fairly certain the website doesn't allow this.

Corrected the first bit. Is it meant to be one long paragraph?

@ Shaylee*cheeky*: It is, in fact, quite fixable.

I thought he meant to indent the paragraphs.


message 292: by Abcdarian (last edited Apr 08, 2017 01:59PM) (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I think it was the incorrect sentence breaks. We could do paragraphs by skipping a line between them if that was wanted as well.


message 293: by Daria (new)

Daria  (ozonda) | 2 comments Could you please fix the typo in this quote ("weight" is misspelled as "wight": https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8464...
