Containing more than 5,000 quotations from authors as diverse as
Bertolt Brecht, George W. Bush, Homer Simpson, Carl Sagan, William
Shatner, and Desmond Tutu, this dictionary is organized
alphabetically by author, with generous cross-referencing and
keyword and thematic indexes. This new edition features more than
500 new quotations and 187 new authors. Gathered here are literary
figures such as Italo Calvino, J. M. Coetzee, and Toni Morrison;
politicians ranging from Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston
Churchill to Rudy Giuliani and Bill Clinton; entertainers such as
Halle Berry and Jerry Seinfeld; and star athletes such as David
Beckham and Serena Williams. The book includes special sections
featuring quotations from cartoons, films, political slogans,
famous last words, misquotations, newspaper headlines and more.
Finally, this edition boasts a new and unique selection process,
using the largest ongoing language research program in the world,
the Oxford English Corpus, to ensure that all the most popular and
widely-used quotations are here. Spanning a century and stretching
from the deeply serious to the frivolous and surreal, The Oxford
Dictionary of Modern Quotations is a vital part of anyone's
reference shelf.
