#5 beginning "Marry" by Kierkegaard: source is "Either/Or"
#11 & #12 by Solzhenitsyn are both from the "Gulag Archipelago" (I don't remember which book/volume).
#13 by Banville is from "The Untouchable"
Thanks!
(I still think its stupid not to let the reader make such simple corrections or additions.)

There is also another one like #5: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7141... I assumed your quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8047... is different because of being from different translation perhaps and didn't change the text. Let me now if further changes are required.
(Librarians don't have control over site's functionality. This is better raised in the Feedback group: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/... )
I wrote to Goodreads:
"The 'quotes' section could be greatly improved by adding an edit my quotes option. Occasionally, I have entered a quote only to realize afterwards that I have misspelled the author's name, left a typo in the quote, or neglected to add the book from which the quote originates; more irritatingly, I have entered all the information, yet when the quote has been saved, not all of the information has made it through (specifically source book)."
Goodreads responded:
Well, that seems silly and unnecessarily tedious for y'all, but oh well."We do have an option to edit quotes, but it's restricted and can only be used by Goodreads Librarians."
Could someone please add the souce book to any of the quotes on my quotes page which lack it? And if you see any typos, go ahead and correct them, too.
Thanks
