Have you ever wondered why most books of quotations are stuffed full of quotes by people you`ve never heard of? It`s a shame because a really good quotes book, one which gathered the truest and funniest insights of the best minds, a book which offered you a useful take on almost every situation life throws at you (from the death of your child`s hamster to the unified theory of everything), well, that would be worth having. And, guess what? This is the elusive holy grail: a big, useful, funny and really very good book of quotations.
