Jeff Parks | 3 comments This quote is misattributed and should be deleted:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8448...

I've added the genuine quote, with source, here:

Thanks.

Empress (the_empress) If the quote is deleted 2398 will loose it and anyhow a librarian wouldn't have the permission to delete it for you. You should re-post here where the super-librarians are lurking: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I would advise with your post to post links to sources that would support your statement.

I already posted there and was ignored. I included the source there, and at the link above as I said.

Bump it by quoting the number of the post. As I said Librarians do not have the ability to delete or edit quotes with that amount of likes .

Banjomike | 5166 comments I've fixed the attribution on the original quote, changed the wording to the Dietrich versiono, removed the newly added version, and added a misattributed tag.

EDIT: Sorry you got missed in the other thread. It does get a bit disorganized over there.
