desertcart.com: Bartlett's Familiar Quotations: 9780316017596: Bartlett, John, O'Brien, Geoffrey: Books

Review: Serendipity Rules - This big book is a must have for quotation fans. Why in the age of Google and an internet flooded with quotations sites would we need a big heavy book of quotations? One word: serendipity. With this great book, you can page through and randomly find amazing quotations. Or you can read the book in order, which is chronological. What a way to discover great thinkers, writers and statesmen! I love to randomly open a page and just see what interesting quote I can find. Of course the other reason to buy this book is: organization. It is well indexed by key word and also organized by whom is quoted, in chronological order. What a fantastic desk-top resource this is.
Review: Subjective Editing - A comprehensive compilation of famous quotes although some were left out (O'Brien's room 101 statement in Orwell's "1984", for example, "You asked me once," said O'Brien, 'what was in Room 101'. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it.The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world".). It's easy to use; you can find quotes by author's name or by the key words. Some of the quotes that Geoffrey O'Brien (General Editor) selected were obviously chosen for the political ideology of the speaker, not for the erudite wisdom the words express. Obama and Sotomayor (and her racist "wise Latina" comment) are two examples of far left ideology while Justice Clarence Thomas' only quote is from his confirmation hearing and nothing from his Supreme Court opinions. Thomas Jefferson's "swinish multitudes" and the "rogues" who "nestle themselves into places of power and profit" (Letter to Mann Page, 1795) and "elective despotism" are examples that should be included. Still and all, it's a valuable book, well worth the price and very informative.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reference book for those wanting to know who said what and when.
*by F***L on January 14, 2020*

It is a large hardcover book. The paperback version would have been more portable. It was given to my college- age grandson as a gift. He loves to read and seemed to really like it. Others have said that it was "a very interesting gift"!
