Between the covers of this compilation are quips, quotes, wit, and wisdom from the whole world and all time. Once published in four volumes, these unforgettable lines can now be found in one big book, enhanced by charming line illustrations. The great names included range from Goethe and Churchill to Woody Allen and Dorothy Parker, and they offer a seemingly limitless trove of one-liners, retorts, definitions, jokes, and last words. From Oscar Wilde’s “To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance” to Pablo Picasso’s “Give me a museum and I’ll fill it,” every quote is illuminating.
