简介

A major new edition of the most authoritative dictionary of quotations available brings you the wit and wisdom of past and present 鈥?from the ancients of East and West to the global village of the 21st century. Find that half-remembered line in a browser's paradise of over 20,000 quotations for all occasions, comprehensively indexed for ready reference. Whether you lean towards the words of Jane Austen: 鈥楾hink only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure鈥? or the advice of Paris Hilton: 鈥楧ress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in鈥? the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations provides the ultimate answer to the questions 鈥榃ho said that? (and when, and why)鈥? Drawing on Oxford's unrivalled dictionary research programme and unique language monitoring, almost 1,000 new quotations have been added to this seventh edition from over 500 authors, from Mary Wollstonecraft and Sarah Palin to Herman Hesse and William Hazlitt. These include classic quotations from established names for which new evidence of current usage has been found, such as 鈥楾he worth of a soul cannot be told鈥?(the African writer and former slave Olaudah Equiano) and 鈥榃ork first 鈥?love next鈥?(American writer and feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman), as well as earlier quotations used by well-known literary authors from around the English-speaking world, e.g. the maxim of Confucius for a ruler, 鈥業f you desire what is good, the people will be good鈥?(quoted by Thoreau), and the view of the Phrygian Stoic philosopher Epictetus that 鈥楴ot things, but opinions about things, trouble men鈥?(cited by Laurence Sterne).
