King, Fran Lebowitz, and Stanislaw Jerzy Lec." -William Grimes, New York Times (The Gifts to Open Again and Again) "Not only is the The Yale Book of Quotations a more profoundly researched work than anything else to date, it is more comprehensive than any other quotation-reference work—the first, in fact, to emphasize modern and American sources and fully to represent popular culture, children's literature, sports, computers, politics, law, and the social sciences." -BookForum ****************************** Copyright: “The Yale Book of Quotations”, ©2006 by Fred Shapiro “The Dictionary of Modern Proverbs”, ©2012 by Yale University
