Synopsis

A revised and updated version of the PENGUIN DICTIONARY OF QUOTATIONS arranged thematically under 800 alphabetically ordered headwords. There are over 12,000 quotations. The beauty of the collection is that the authors speaking on a specific topic range across the centuries, producing wonderfully eccentric pairings: Marcel Proust follows Dolly Parton on the theme of Body Parts, Molière follows Groucho Marx on that of Doctors and Nurses. A browser's paradise, it is also a very useful reference tool.
