Great Sayings: Classic Words from Modern Times

by Various

This book is a sparkling collection of some of the most memorable lines ever spoken. From the most familiar - "A man who is tired of London..."- to unexpected discoveries, few books can unite so many well-chosen lines. Arranged by theme, from Love to Death to Eating and beyond, Great Sayings is a book for gathering inspiration, enjoyably dipping into, reading out loud, or for quiet reflection. If you ever find yourself wondering, "who said that?" or in need of quotations for a speech or for a wedding toast, this book is for you.

With memorable lines from Twain, Dickens, Dr. Johnson, Dorothy Parker, and many of the most eloquent writers and figures of modern times, the sayings here range from the meditative to the frankly scurrilous.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.
