Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This expanded version of The Concise Co lumbia Dictionary of Quotations (1989) corrects some of the latter's deficiencies. Claiming 11,000 quotes not found in similar sources, the Dictionary offers 18,000 quotes arranged alphabetically by speaker under 1500 well-selected topics. Brief citations to original sources are noted, and See references guide one to related quotes under other topics. For those who feel most comfortable quoting contemporaries, this sourcebook supplies an ample serving. There's a Woody Allen snippet on sex; Nora Ephron's observation on controversy; and Donald Trump's position on self-promotion. However, those who savor tried-and-true quotations from sages of the past will not be disappointed. An index of sources (not seen) is included but no keyword index. This should prove a popular general quotation sourcebook for academic, public, and school libraries.
