First published in 1855 and continuously in print since then, Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is the most authoritative, thought-provoking, and entertaining collection of quotations available. This new edition spans almost 5,000 years of history and culture, from the ancient Egyptians to the latest movie, and contains more than 25,000 quotations, representing 2,500 authors. Under the direction of Pullitzer Prize-winning biographer Justin Kaplan, Bartlett's has been updated and revised to reflect the ever changing cultural climate and includes hundreds of new quotations. It will inspire you to polish a presentation, enrich a narrative, add zest to a toast, pepper a conversation, and entertain the age-old question 'Who said that?'
