Hello I just added this quote from Charles Dickens. Could you please tag this as being from David Copperfield? Thank you!
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7368417
Here is the quote in question, FYI:
“The rooks were sailing about the cathedral towers; and the towers themselves, overlooking many a long unaltered mile of the rich country and its pleasant streams, were cutting the bright morning air as if there were no such thing as change on earth. Yet the bells, when they sounded told me sorrowfully of change in everything; told me of their own age, and my pretty Dora's youth; and of the many, never old, who had lived and loved and died, while the reverberations of the bells had hummed through the rusty armour of the Black Prince hanging up within, and, motes upon the deep of Time, had lost themselves in air, as circles do in water.”

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7382...Split into the three paragraphs I attempted to specify, if possible, and also make sure the italics tag works? Currently not showing up at the moment.
re #695: The italics tag seems to work (just had to have one opening and one closing instead of two closing tags), but using the paragraph ones, the result didn't look good to me and I used new lines instead.If anyone would like to correct that, please do.

Hello!:)
Can you add a nice photo of Fred Lowe Soper to his quotes?
I don't know where you find the stocks of photos, but since there are more than one Fred out there - This is the correct Fred Lowe Soper: (a nice photo, too)
http://webapps.jhu.edu/namedprofessor...
Here's one of the two quotes by him here on GR:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7407...
I added one of his books (where those quotes came from of course) and put up a review, but there was no available cover photo as the book I have is a reprint. (Anopheles Gambiae in Brazil). Don't know if you can find the cover, but if you can - that'd be nice too to add.
He was a genuine everyday hero - brought into a massive high-mortality malaria epidemic emergency in Brazil in 1939 under his leadership he not only stopped the epidemic, but in less than two years eradicated the anopheles mosquito so it never came back - when everyone said it was impossible to achieve. :)
(Millions of people over the past sixty years are living safe from it because of his dogged insistence to do the job 100% right.)
Thanks!

In general, the only acceptable sources for an author's photo are the author themselves (with permission), the copyright holder of a photo (with permission), or a photo in the public domain. There is no indication on the site you linked that the second or third applies here (and the first is impossible).

re: rivka : I linked that only so if there was a public domain photo available that we'd be able to select the Fred Soper we wanted - as there are apparently a few other Freds out there with their photos."The same image was used in 2012 here:
http://www.respyn.uanl.mx/xiii/4/edit...
No info as to where they got it or the permission info so can't tell if it's public domain or not.

Yes, that's the book I have in hand.

Looks nice!
Thanks!
I forgot! Both quotes are from that same book - can you add it to the two listed quotes?
Thanks again!
