Klaus Hempfling (klaushempfling) Dear Goodreads Librarians,

Could you kindly assist with the following:

Remove Quotation Marks in the First Quote:

Currently, this quote includes quotation marks that I mistakenly left in place. Could these please be removed to align with the other quotes on the page?
Link to quote: https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes...
“»Deine Gedanken und Handlungen, deine Art der Bewegung und deine Nahrung sollten deine Medizin sein… alles in deinen Händen.«"

Thank you very much for your help with these adjustments. I apologize again for the oversight and appreciate your assistance.

Klaus Hempfling (klaushempfling) Dear Goodreads Librarians,

I noticed that one of my requests was fulfilled, and the second quote is publicly visible again—thank you very much for that!

This made me realize that I may not have been entirely clear in my other request, as double quotation marks are still present in the first quote.

To clarify, it’s about these marks:
» and «
which are placed around "Deine" and "Händen":

»Deine ...
... Händen.«

These were used in the book as quotation marks, and I left them when adding the quote, not realizing that the Goodreads system automatically includes quotation marks.

I hope this beginner's mistake can still be corrected, and I appreciate your help in advance!

Here once again the link to the quote page:

Done. I also removed the author's initials as they should not go in the text of the quote.
