When requesting a quote be changed, please link to the quote on Goodreads.
Note:
- Librarians do not delete quotes with likes; unless they were originally added against Goodreads policy. However, Librarians can edit quotes for spelling, grammar, and other errors.
- Duplicate quotes should be merged.
- Quotes must be from a published author or notable person. Quotes that are not from notable persons or unknown sources will be removed.
- Quotes can be from any source, such as books, spoken words or news articles; however, song lyrics, TV and movie quotes are not permitted.
- Quotes should be longer than a single word, and shorter than three paragraphs or 200 words in length (excerpt length).
- If a quote has over 500 likes, you’ll need to reach out to a Superlibrarian for help with editing.
