Thanks Melody. That feels so much better!

A typo and lots of missing punctuation in this one.

“If he fancied her anymore," Saphira said to both Eragon and Roran, "I'd be trying to kiss Arya myself."
"Saphira!" Mortified, Eragon swatted her on the leg.

She gave him a wan smile. "And then you came, Eragon. You and Saphira. After hope had deserted me and I was about to be taken to Galbatorix in Uru'baen, a Rider appeared to rescue me. A rider and a dragon!"

"And Morzan's son," he said. "Both of Morzan's sons."

"Describe it how you will, it was such an improbable rescue, I occasionally think that I did go mad and that I've imagined everything since.”

Some typos.

“Good with languages," she murmured. With everything she learned about him, he got more and more interesting. Or more mysterious, depending on how you looked at it. "So, good with languages, shovels, and igloos. Anything else?"

The smug look he tossed at her was so wicked it shivered right down her spine. Walked right into that, hadn't she. She shook her head and, looking away to hide her blush, moved her cardboard forward one spot. Without a doubt, he would be good at...other stuff. Jesus.

Can't find a proper attribution for this supposed Oscar Wilde quote. Wikiquote lists it under unknown source: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Oscar_Wi...

Here's a discussion of it http://forum.quoteland.com/eve/forums...

Can someone please add self-deception as a quote tag on the following quote:

http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/27462...

[Banjomike]

#743 done

[Keith]

Tags added for #472

[Banjomike]

#742 'be yourself' is like the Monroe 'selfish, impatient and a little insecure' quote. Very little chance either of them said it but huge numbers of Goodreaders are happy to believe it. The only result of deleting the Wilde would be to upset 54000 members and it would be back tomorrow.

Extra tags have been added (teamwork, yay) "attributed, unsourced, unverifiable". Other than that we should probably leave it unless a PTB says otherwise.

[Grace]

I see the reasoning, but I still think it's a real shame for Goodreads to contribute to the perception that this is a legitimate Oscar Wilde quote. I feel like the site should be a place to get correct information about books and writers.

Could the attribution be changed from Oscar Wilde to "anonymous"?

No, since we delete anonymous quotes not linked to a specific book.

Hello, I don't have experience with fixing quotes and I found that all of the quotes in this page are attributed to the wrong author; they belong to Elizabeth^^^Hunter.

Thank you!

I'm working on moving these to the lyricists for the musicals.

ETA: Done

I think these two quotes may need to be combined. Unless there are two different versions?
