Jennifer (blacjak) | 18 comments These are all the same:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/5787...

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1157...

(The following two are borderline plagiarism because the quote says Mark Twain said it, but the citation is some book by a different author)

The following is completely misattributed:

Hi Jennifer

Part 1. One version must have more than 500 likes, so you will need to edit your title to add [Superlibrarian Needed] or similar. You can only do that in the desktop view.

Part 2. Quotes within quotes are allowed.
See the Librarian Manual under;
General Guidelines for Adding Quotes on Goodreads
https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Part 3. No credit given to Twain & 0 likes so I have deleted.

Edit: You have a third thread. I'm one of the many librarians who when I combine versions of a quote lose some of the likes, so I can't assist. I thought I would reply here rather than in that thread - if it is unanswered there may be more chance of another librarian addressing it. :)
