Theresa F. | 397 comments I was attempting to look up a J.R.R. Tolkien quote on Goodreads, trying to determine if the correct wording was, "Not all who wander are lost" or "Not all those who wander are lost". Anyway, I found out that the quote appears multiple times in the database. I've linked to as many duplicate examples as I could find below.

(this one adds a letter S to the word wander, but it looks like a typo to me.)

Leilin (leilinbooks) | 1787 comments If someone does that, could they explain how they do it: I have not yet much worked on quotes and when I try and combine several together, they are listed by pages of 30 or so and they do not stay selected when I change pages, meaning that I basically can't combine anything that's not on the same page... I'm sure I must be missing something, but I don't know how else to combine those, so help would be much appreciated :)

Arenda | 26455 comments Done, but as I suspected one of these quotes is locked for editing by GR, meaning merging duplicates into that quote is not possible.

There are now 2 quotes remaining:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/3319...

Maybe GR Support can merge these two?
