Description: While continuing to draw on timeless classical references, this edition also incorporates more than 3,000 new quotes from more than 700 new sources, including Alison Bechdel, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Pope Francis, Atul Gawande, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Hilary Mantel, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Claudia Rankine, Fred Rogers, Bernie Sanders, Patti Smith, and Malala Yousafzai. Bartlett's showcases the thoughts not only of renowned figures from the arts, literature, politics, science, sports, and business, but also of otherwise unknown individuals whose thought-provoking ideas have moved, unsettled, or inspired readers and listeners throughout the ages. Bartlett's makes searching for the perfect quote easy in three ways: alphabetically by author, chronologically by the author's birth date, or thematically by subject.
Review Quotes: "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations remains the go-to source for checking who said what, when, and where. The massive manual of missives and mottos has enabled writers, students, and even gamblers ('Bet you don't know who said . . . ') to get it right."--Dave Kindy, Boston Globe
