A revised, enlarged, and updated edition of this authoritative and
entertaining reference book-named the #2 essential home library
reference book by the Wall Street Journal "Shapiro does original
research, earning [this] volume a place on the quotation shelf next
to Bartlett's and Oxford's."-William Safire, New York Times
Magazine (on the original edition) "The most accurate, thorough,
and up-to-date quotation book ever compiled."-Bryan A. Garner, Los
Angeles Review of Books Updated to include more than a thousand new
quotations, this reader-friendly volume contains over twelve
thousand famous quotations, arranged alphabetically by author and
sourced from literature, history, popular culture, sports, digital
culture, science, politics, law, the social sciences, and all other
aspects of human activity. Contemporaries added to this edition
include Beyonce, Sandra Cisneros, James Comey, Drake, Louise Gluck,
LeBron James, Brett Kavanaugh, Lady Gaga, Lin-Manuel Miranda,
Barack Obama, John Oliver, Nancy Pelosi, Vladimir Putin, Bernie
Sanders, Donald Trump, and David Foster Wallace. The volume also
reflects path-breaking recent research resulting in the updating of
quotations from the first edition with more accurate wording or
attribution. It has also incorporated noncontemporary quotations
that have become relevant to the present day. In addition, The New
Yale Book of Quotations reveals the striking fact that women
originated many familiar quotations, yet their roles have been
forgotten and their verbal inventions have often been credited to
prominent men instead. This book's quotations, annotations,
extensive cross-references, and large keyword index will satisfy
both the reader who seeks specific information and the curious
browser who appreciates an amble through entertaining pages.
