This anthology of over 1900 quotes spans the centuries since humans first put ideas to pen. There are 76 categories, from abstract art to wisdom, with the fully attributed quotes (author, source, date) sub-arranged approximately chronologically. The larger categories are subdivided into subject sections; for example, Quality is subdivided into Quality and Taste as well as Source of Quality. Some quotes are delightful, others spring insights like traps, still others are so evocative or profound as to define seemingly forever their subject. The Author index gives the quoted artists' birth and death dates, country of origin and medium of expression.
