1,911 Best Things Anybody Ever Said

From Plato to Groucho, this comprehensive edition features some of the most quotable people who ever lived. They are the famous, infamous, the little-known, and the unknown, inspired enough by life to comment on it, and smart enough to be clever about it.
It is a brilliant mix of politics, social commentary, absurd metaphor and timeless truisms that delight, enlighten and keep the reader laughing out loud. This three-part volume of one-liners, crammed with wisdom of the ages, will never collect dust. It's likely to move from room to room, never finding its way to the book shelf. "Best Things" should be required reading for all students of comedy and other members of the human race. Indexed by author, subject and key words, it is both an indispensable reference for all occasions and a wonderful escape for anyone who enjoys laughing again, again and again.
