Vic Martin | 1 comments Hi.
I joined this group 'cause it's the only way to report issues. ;-)
The quote https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/2814...
is not from Ellen DeGeneres.
Cheers,
Vic

Hi Vic

Thanks for reporting this Vic.

The problem is I can't merge this with the real author of this quote (Ellen Goodman) as that feature is broken - has been for 11 years. One version of the quote will lose all it's likes - & both versions have a lot of likes! It's frustrating as it means Goodreads is spreading misinformation. For now I'll try to make it clear in the tags that DeGeneres isn't the real author.

I would encourage you to contact Support (Staff) about this bug.
