message 1: by Giorgio (new)

Giorgio | 2 comments Hello, I uploaded my first quote, and have just realized I didn't separate the inner monologue of the protagonist (that should be inside the quotation marks if i'm correct) from the narrator’s voice ("Somewhere in a long [...] study the laws.")
The quote can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1189...

Could someone help correct that? Thank you so much!

message 5: by Claudia (new)

Claudia Fabian | 3 comments How do I edit a quote that populated before I had added the book's title or correctly entered the author's name?

"Once, long ago, you told me how you sought the North Star in the evening’s sky. Its presence brought you solace in a world that cheated you of your mother’s love. You seek answers in the heavens to fill an emptiness in your soul, for the stars are eternal and will not forsake you. You needn’t go on searching, my love. You are not lost, nor are you alone. I will be your solace here on earth. Make me the happiest of men and let your home be here, with me."

Celestial Persuasion by Mirta Ines Trupp

Hi Claudia

Is this the quote you are talking about?

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1191...

I'm perplexed as this one does have the author & title credited.'

If not please link to it.

I'll mention the one I've linked to is very close to the maximum length for quotes (we have recently been given some guidelines)

Claudia Fabian | 3 comments I submitted a new one (the one that you've shared) when I couldn't figure out how to edit the one I accidently entered (without a title and the author's name not capitalized)

Deleted. Please allow at least 20 minutes for the changes to display.

I'm sure you realise this now, but please come to this folder to ask for quote corrections rather than making a duplicate. :)

message 12: by Jacey (new)

Jacey (smacey) | 1 comments Hi! I added quite a few quotes recently from Britney's memoir and found that, despite double-checking before hitting submit, two of them have (albeit small) errors.

The first is here: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1195...

In the very last sentence of this quote, "...me precious babies..." should be "...my precious babies..."

Here is the second: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1195...

In this one, "...once of the seventy-two names of God," should be "...one of the seventy-two names of God."

Thanks so much!

Lena C.  Matias | 2 comments Hello! I recently posted quote from a book i co-author, but despite my double-checking, it ended up with a typo.

Instead of " ...só emu" at the end, it should be "...só meu", but i can't seem to edit it,

Could you please help me correct it? Thank you!

Oh, that explains a lot! I'm new to goodreads, so I'm still getting the hang of it. Thank you very much!

Jackie | 8 comments Hi, Carol She's So Novel, I wanted to tag onto this thread and ask for a quote to be deleted. On the book Men, Women, and Chainsaws, I accidentally added a duplicate quote with some errors. I didn't realize it posted.

This is the link

The one that needs to go is the one missing Girl in "the Final Girl"

Thanks!
