From the deeply serious to the frivolous, key quotations of today underpinned by landmark voices of the past in over 5,000 quotations.
From Scott's Antarctic expedition in 1912 to the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001, charting watersheds such as two World Wars as well as the ebbs and flows of popular culture, the quotations in this collection provide a picture of the social, political, cultural and scientific concerns of modern times. Containing over 5000 quotations from authors as diverse as Elizabeth Arden, Billy Connolly, Bertolt Brecht, Linda Evangelista, Eddie Izzard, Alison Lurie, Carl Sagan, William Shatner and Desmond Tutu, the dictionary is author-organized with cross-referencing and keyword and thematic indexes. Special categories for film taglines and cartoon captions have been added to accompany misquotations, official advice and newspaper headlines.
