Bartlett's Familiar Quotations
This 17th edition under Kaplan's splendid direction, contains over 20,000 quotations, representing 2,500 authors, 90 of whom are new to BARTLETT'S. Newcomers include Bill and Hillary Clinton, Tony Kishner, Tammy Wynette, Margaret Atwood, Maya Angelou, Martin and Kingsley Amis, Mother Teresa and Jacques Cousteau, Rudolf Giuliani and Jerry Seinfeld, J K Rowling and Alfred Hitchcock among many more. With quotations presented in chronological order, in the famous BARTLETT'S tradition, BARTLETT'S gives the reader a vast panorama of the world, from the ancient Egyptians to the latest movie, from the inspirational and the beautiful to the sardonic and downright funny.
