Would someone please tell me how to edit a quotation? I tried to find the answer in the librarian manual to no avail. I scoured the actual quotation page for an "edit" link but saw none. Thanks.

There won't be an edit button if the quote is really popular, though. Then you have to get someone else (super? staff member? I'm not sure) to edit it.

Thank you, Amanda and Sophie. I think this must be one for a super librarian because the quotation has more than 800 likes.

Fixed :)
I'd like to ask if it's correct to have a quote with original language + translation, like this one for examplehttps://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2867...
I would separate the 2 parts into 2 quotes, but I don't know if that would be right
I have edited that quote: right now the "old" with 200+ likes has the first part (original language), and I have created another one https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1364... with the English translation.If you think it's better the other way around, let me know
It's probably just as likely to be the way any specific user wants it either way, so that should be fine.
