More than 150 years after its initial publication, Bartlett's
Familiar Quotations now enters its nineteenth edi tion. First
compiled by John Bartlett, a bookseller in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, as a commonplace book of only 258 pages, the
original 1855 edition mainly featured selections from the Bible,
Shakespeare, and the great English poets. Today, Bartlett's
includes more than 20,000 quotes from roughly 4,000 con tributors.
Spanning centuries of thought and culture, it remains the finest
and most popular compendium of quotations ever assembled. While
continuing to draw on timeless classi cal references, this edition
also incorporates more than 3,000 new quotes from more than 700 new
sources, including Alison Bechdel, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Pope Francis,
Atul Gawande, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Hilary Mantel, Lin-Manuel
Miranda, Claudia Rankine, Fred Rogers, Bernie Sanders, Patti Smith,
and Malala Yousafzai. Bartlett's showcases the thoughts not only of
renowned figures from the arts, literature, politics, science,
sports, and business, but also of otherwise unknown individuals
whose thought-provoking ideas have moved, unsettled, or inspired
readers and listeners throughout the ages. Bartlett's makes
searching for the perfect quote easy in three ways: alphabetically
by author, chrono logically by the author's birth date, or
thematically by subject. Whether one is searching for appropriate
remarks for a celebration, comforting thoughts for a serious
occasion, or simply to answer the question "Who said that?"
