The Quotable Intellectual

Who doesn't want to wow guests at cocktail parties? To sound as if they're on intimate terms with the world's great minds? To appear sophisticated, witty, and urbane? Now readers can, using this collection of 1,200 quotations from the mouths of the wildly famous to the painfully obscure. Casually toss off a few of these - 'As Henry James once said, 'In art, economy is always beauty" - to sound like an alumnus of Cambridge, Oxford, or some other snooty university. For those who want entree to the world of the well-read, here's a shortcut: time-tested wisdom for the instantly intellectual.
