About this product
Product Information
To understand and communicate in the world today, you must know the foundations of many cultures. Only in The Whole World Book of Quotations will you find a thorough selection of aphorisms from the flourishing cultures of Asia, Africa, and the Islamic world. This original and important reference book also brings to light the sayings of women and minorities whose contributions to Western culture have too often been overlooked.. } The Whole World Book of Quotations collects comments, wit, and wisdom not to be found in any other quotation reference book. Most compendia focus on the familiar sayings of Western cultures, leaving out much of the world. In contrast, here you will find quotations from all parts of the globe and from people we hear little about. The result is a unique collection that fills a long-standing hole on our reference shelves. These unfamiliar quotations will add freshness to your writing, your speaking, and your thinking. To make it easy to find the right quote for the moment, or to compare the thoughts of divers people, these quotations have been arranged by subject. Read through such topics of universal interest as love, money, and art. Look for several alternative perspectives of politics, racism, and religion. The Whole World Book of Quotations does more than tell you who said what. It provides detailed biographies of all the people quoted so that you can put them in the context of history and philosophy, or look up their longer writings. Indeed, this books Biographical Index will come in hand as a reference source in itself.In these pages you will find well over three thousand sayings from every kind of personactivists and kings, shamans and homemakers poets and generals (and some generals who were poets). For writers, students, and teachers sharing the wisdom of the world, The Whole World Book of Quotations is here to browse, consult, and enjoy. Sample quotations:There are forty kinds of lunacy, but only one kind of common sense --Bantu saying Pray for the dead, and fight like hell for the living.-- Mother Jones (1830-1930) American labor organizer He left us and we rejoiced; then an even more unbearable person came. --Arab proverb about guests }
