Description
An innovative new quotations dictionary containing over 7,000 quotations listed by theme for easy-look-up. It covers an enormous range of nearly 600 themes, from the more traditional topics of Courage or Parliament, to topical themes such as The Internet or Genetic Engineering. The quotations range from the very old to the modern, and a useful author index gives quick and easy access to the contents of the dictionary and provides information on each author. Nearly two thirds of the quotations are taken from the 20th Century, giving the dictionary a very modern feel. A useful tool for writing speeches or for those needing to find some bons mots for an essay, dissertation, or article, or those who just want to know who said what and when they said it!
