This new thread is for quotes that are missing words, or which have been otherwise imported incorrectly. This is often the case when a member adds their Kindle highlights, but the sentence has not been properly highlighted.

We've added a new thread due to the large amount of these requests each day, and because these are often a less urgent type of request.

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments Does not look like a real quote to me, but no hurry, so I am placing it here out of the way.

Michael Johnson (michaelbasseyjohnson) | 59 comments Please correct the incomplete quotation below

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1161...

missing phrase should have been, “…and how it helps to make the stars shine.”

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments Looks like missing word, and is a fragment anyway

I found a few quotes which look to be from a music artist, but a DVD is in place rather than a book or audiobook. Not sure if they belong or need further accreditations.

David Jack (smeagolthemagnificent) | 19 comments The top quote at the link below (“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”) is very slightly wrong. The word "being" should be replaced by "to be".

Also, since it is the most popular George MacDonald quote, it would be nice if it had the source (as long as this is allowed,) Several of the others have the source but this one doesn't. So here's the book the quote is from from first, if that can be added:

The Marquis of Lossie

And here's the quote itself (at the top of this link) so the correction can be made.

Thanks!
