This was a freebie for the Kindle, so I always hate to complain or "diss" anything free.  However, I guess I expected quotes that were more modern?  Many of the quotes seemed old, archaic and partial in nature.  They didn't really seem to have bearing on anything in particular.  This has many great quotes from Shakespeare and famous authors, but it just wasn't what I was looking for in quotes.  One thing that COULD have made it better perhaps, would have been a guide to help you find/select a particular quote that would be apropo of something you were searching for to pertain to a particular situation.  Let's say for example that I wanted to write my own wedding vows or I need inspiration or I am lonely and need support.  A guide at the front of the book to lead you to a particular reference/quote would have been nice.  I believe it is still worthwhile to own, just not what I was looking for in a book called "Familiar Quotations".
