Synopsis
This dictionary of more than 2000 quotations provides information on a wide range of problematic quotations. Annotations explain the origin and background to famous quotations, highlight popular misconceptions and correct common misquotations. It includes an extensive index of key words. The book includes such examples as "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do", "truth is stranger than fiction", "lead on, Macduff", "come up and see me sometime" and "me Tarzan, you Jane". It corrects readers' misconceptions about Greta Garbo's "I want to be alone" and Julius Caesar's "et tu, Brute", and acts as the final solution to arguments over "who really said what".
