Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Quotes have an intriguing quality to them; They offer new and often differing viewpoints on any and every aspect of life. This book claims to have a 'collection of over 3000 quotes.' Seeing its daunting size, there is little doubt to the accuracy of that statement. While mostly about love, the quotes vary in genre from 'Wrinkles' to 'Safe Sex,' from 'Gossip' to 'Lingerie.' The quotes have a vast range of emotion behind them... humor, spite, truth, and independence included. Examples include: "I am tired of all this nonsense of beauty being only skin deep. That's deep enough. What do you want- an adorable pancreas?" (Jean Kerr, page 32) "At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." (Plato, page 248) "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth/For thy love is better than wine." (Song of Songs, page (212) There are a variety of authors, as the book says, though it tends mostly to have many lines from the 1800's-early 1900s. For anyone who loves romance (or lack thereof) and quotes, this book is definately a good buy.
