Description
The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations is the most authoritative and popular reference book of its kind. For this new fourth edition it has been extensively revised and is fully up to date, with many quotations from the contemporary world which have entered the language, such as ‘Read my lips’ (George Bush), and ‘the mother of battles’ (Saddam Hussein). The dictionary contains more than 17,000 quotations from 2500 people of all times and places: it is the definitive guide to quotations in English.
“Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language.” Dr. Johnson
