Hi Ilbert

Three of the quotes appear twice

Once for you as the author, the second time as you added them as personal quotes. This always happens when GR authors add quotes from their own books.

I removed the name of the character from one of the quotes. On Goodreads we don't add that (or other things like chapter number)

The 4th quote hasn't been assigned to a book - it has Yoda within the book. Is that the name of the book or a character name?

That's ok.

I guess you found out you couldn't delete your Yoda quote. I have managed to find it & delete it as it is unnecessary clutter. I've also capitalised George Lucas in the correct version. If the quote comes from a book I should be able to add it for you.

In future though, do a search first to see if someone has already added a quote you want. :)
