5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Source of Quotes,
By "jhoffman1986" (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New International Dictionary of Quotations, 3rd Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
When going online recently, and searching for a dictionary of quotations, i was looking for the legendary bartlett's, but was surprised to find none for sale anymore. after careful deliberation, i took a chance and bought the new international dictionary of quotations. it turned out to be extremely well-organized, with specific categories inside it. There were even subcategories!! As an AP english student, I must say this is one of the best quote dictionaries I have ever laid eyes on, and I have seen a LOT!!

I adore this book!,

This review is from: New International Dictionary of Quotations, 3rd Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
Not only do I use it to find quotes for uses in papers and things like valedictory addresses, but I've gone through it and just read it for the sheer delight of finding new witticisms, new quips, new works of literature I should be reading . . . For anyone who has ever or ever will take an English class, this is the best place to start for quotes. For anyone who loves words, this is the best place to start. For anyone who wishes to sound like they've read all these books <grin>, this is the best place to start. When you really want *more*, there's the more specialized dictionaries, like the _Dictionary of Quotes from Shakespeare_ from the same two editors. Other than that, I can't explain enough what a delight this book has been to me. Maybe some quotes: "Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it." Ralph Waldo Emerson, *Compensation* "Intellect does not gain its full force until it attacks power." Mme de Stael. "Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car." E.B. White And that's only a start . . .

Don Folz shoots from the hip -- and misses,
By A Customer
This review is from: New International Dictionary of Quotations, 3rd Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
Mr. Folz has confused Ecclesiastes, a book in the Old Testament, with Ecclesiasticus (N.B., not Eccliesiasticus), which is a book in the Apocrypha.
