An ideal gift in a luxury format
Over 4,000 quotations and 2,000 proverbs from past and present
Over 300 subjects - from Fashion to Philosophy, Censorship to Sex
Quotations taken from a wide range of authors, wits, celebrities, politicians, and thinkers, including Shakespeare, Twiggy, Salman Rushdie, and George W. Bush
Proverbs include modern sayings and slogans plus material from Chinese, African, Middle Eastern, and other cultures
From Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde to Fidel Castro and Dolly Parton, the
Little Oxford Dictionary of Quotations
features 4,000 of the best quotations of past and present. Packed with quotable quotes on over 300 themes from 'Parties' to 'Punctuality', and from 'Apology' to 'Toasts', this is the ideal tool for finding exactly the right words to express yourself in any situation. Its perfect complement is the
Little Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs
, which includes fascinating information on 2,000 proverbs and sayings from around the world and across 250 subjects - from 'Cats' and 'Dogs' to 'Achievement' and 'Extravagance'.
Here are classic quotations from writers like Robert Louis Stevenson ('Wine is bottled poetry'), sharp remarks of today 'Winning isn't everything. It's the money you make doing it that's everything.' (Lee Trevino), and proverbs old and new, from the traditional 'Let sleeping dogs lie' to the Chinese saying 'Once bitten by a snake, a man will be afraid of a piece of rope for three years'. Between them, these two charming little books will have the perfect words for whatever you want to say.
Readership:
An ideal gift, especially for anyone interested in language.
