Ever since the first edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations
published over 70 years ago, this bestselling book has remained
unrivalled in its coverage of quotations both past and present. The
eighth edition is a vast treasury of wit and wisdom spanning the
centuries and providing the ultimate answer to the question, 'Who
said that?' Find that only half-remembered line in a collection of
over 20,000 quotations, comprehensively indexed for ready
reference. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations provides a quote for
every occasion that spans the greatest minds of history to the
people who gave us one-liners.
Drawing on Oxford's unrivalled dictionary research program and
unique language monitoring, over 700 new quotations have been added
to this eighth edition from authors ranging from St Joan of Arc and
Coco Chanel to Albrecht Durer and Thomas Jefferson. New sayings
that span the ages include "It would not be better if things
happened to men just as they wish" (the classical writer
Heraclitus), "My father used to say: "Don't raise your voice,
improve your argument'"' (Desmond Tutu), and "The future is already
here--it's just not evenly distributed" (the writer William
Gibson).
Two hundred authors make their debut in this edition, with a
brand-new companion website that links to dozens of spoken
quotations by the authors themselves.
