Every generation has its wits, wags, pundits, punsters, and one-liner
champions. And this marvelous collection of classic quotes from throughout
history shows of the best of the best. This is a compilation of three
volumes of The 637 Best Things Anybody Ever Said -- all 1,991 of them -- in
one volume. From Plato to Groucho, this comprehensive edition quotes some of
the most quotable people who ever lived. They are the famous, the infamous,
the little-known, inspired by life to comment on it and smart enough to be
clever about it. Nicely illustrated in B&W.
