From The Boston Bibliophile - today's question: Have you ever added a quote to the quotation field in common knowledge? What's a quote you particularly like from a book, one that you know by heart?Having just discovered the Common Knowledge information with last week's question, I have not really explored it fully. And that means I didn't even know you could add a quote! So I just explored that area - which was not easy to find. And the browsing is inactive right now. Sigh... I will have to play with it later.
As for a favorite book quote - nothing comes to mind. Granted I don't have a stellar memory, but I don't know that I note the lines when I read a book. I tend to take books and characters more as a whole than to see a tag line or even a fun quote. Wonder what I'm missing by not paying attention to that?

I hadn't really looked at the Common Knowledge area before today, so I didn't know about the quotes either. I keep a journal of quotes from my reading, but don't commit many to memory, I'm afraid.
I've never checked the Common Knowledge area out either. The only quotes I can think of are from The Gettysburg Address and Shakespeare. I have a feeling the ones I know are on there already.
I've started looking at the book as a whole, rather than picking quotes out of them.
I'm so bad about writing down quotes. Sometimes I put them in my reviews though.
