Please edit or correct or delete this quote. (part 5)

"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."


Author name misspelled.
Improper capitalization. Improper punctuation.
Not linked to a book.

“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?

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

Thank you!

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:

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!

"... 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!

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.


And also in this one, could you please change "listed" to "listened"?
