Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments The same quote appears in a few slightly different versions for length. And then it gets repeated, so each version could be merged. The author also is noted in the bottom of some.

Larry Lee | 1 comments HI. There is a quote that's incorrectly attributed to an author. The quote, “Every act of perception, is to some degree an act of creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination.”
― Oliver Sacks, Musicophilia, is not by Oliver Sacks. It is a quote from one of his colleagues (in Musicophilia, pg. 148-hardback edition). This quote is actually by Gerald M. Edelman, Second Nature: Brain Science and Human Knowledge (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006), 423. Thank you for your attention to this matter. The URL is: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2463...

anolta | 20 comments Hello, this quote has been wrongly attributed to Sylvia Plath, but it is, in fact, from Oscar Wilde's Canterville Ghost:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4794...

Could you please change that and also remove the tag: the-bell-jar?

Also also, there is a wrong word in the last sentence. It reads: "To forget time, to *forgive* life, to be at peace.”
But ist must be "forget life".

Thank you!

"This is the seed that
will eventually grow into a more proper faith."

The accidental newline is between "that" and "will". If someone could fix this that'd be great, thanks :)

Brian Haslett (mobbarley) | 2 comments I accidently added two quotes and said they were in The Final Empire (Mistborn series) instead of Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive).. both books by Brandon Sanderson. Could you fix them please? I can't seem to find a way to do it myself. I can re-add them if it's just easier for you to delete them, but every time I click remove them add them back, the old book names shows up, so I suspect it doesn't really delete them that way.
