Hi David

Have you listed the quotes exactly as they appear in the book?

For example, in the book do they have a heading like Metaphor, then a second heading like Answer. If so, it is fine to enter them like that on Goodreads. Otherwise please enter them exactly as they appear in the book.

I will just tell you that Goodreads librarians are volunteers & that there is no bulk removal tool for quotes. Also, for me anyway, sometimes the delete doesn't work the first time. & very few librarians work with quotes.

So this is a time consuming job & I'll just do a few, whenever I have spare time. Another librarian may assist, but they are under no obligation to do so.

Edit: If any of the quotes gain a like I won't be able to remove them.

I appreciate the effort and time you and other librarians put into maintaining the Goodreads community.

Thank you for your understanding and assistance.

OK, I have already removed 5 of them though.

Thanks for this. :)
