Quote ends without a start

This problem repeats over different files in the repository. For example this one
contains the text:

Before that night—a memorable night, as it was to prove—hundreds of millions of people had watched the rising smoke-wreaths of their fires without drawing any special inspiration from the fact."
There is no start to this quote.
Since this mistake repeats in several files it’s better to change them all at once.

Hmmm, yes, you are right.

I’d just delete the closing quote in each case. It doesn’t look like it is supposed to be a quote.
