520 This reader-friendly volume contains more than 12,000
famous quotations, arranged alphabetically by author. It
is unique in its focus on American quotations and its
thorough coverage of items not only from literary and
historical sources but also from popular culture, sports,
computers, politics, law and the social sciences.
Anonymously authored items appear in sections devoted to
folk songs, advertising slogans, film lines, television
catchphrases, proverbs and others. For each quotation, a
source and first date of use are cited. In many cases, new
research for this book has uncovered an earlier date or a
different author than had previously been understood. It
was Beatrice Kaufman, not Sophie Tucker, who exclaimed,
ʺIʼve been poor and Iʼve been rich. Rich is better!ʺ
William Tecumseh Sherman wasnʼt the originator of ʺWar is
hell!ʺ Its earliest attribution was to Napoleon. Numerous
entries are enhanced with annotations to clarify meaning
or context. These fascinating annotations, along with
extensive cross-references that identify related
quotations, and a large keyword index, will satisfy both
the reader who seeks specific information and the curious
browser who appreciates an amble through entertaining
pages.--Provided by publisher.
