Hi Carmen
I've covered this on one of your other posts, but you probably aren't doing anything wrong. This is a very buggy site. Hopefully you have been able to add the quotes, but if not you just have to keep trying. It won't be any different for me, sorry.
Since it looks like you like quotes the way I do, you might find reading the quotes section of the Librarians' Manual helpful. Note that this isn't exhaustive but way better than what we used to have.

I don't even know what I'm doing wrong.
Can you please add the following two quotes for me?
1 - In one of his main works, Rousseau allegorically describes some of his theories. Follow: "The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying "This is mine" and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not anyone have saved humankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.".
2 - When all individuals walks their way and seek wisdom and understanding, they will naturally come in contact with empathy. The foundation of a harmonious and prosperous society will then be established, free from selfish and evil discrimination and tactics, free from prejudice, free.
Many thanks in advance.
