The Thinking Person's New Book of Quotes, Aphorisms, Quips, Phrases, and Infamous One-Liners From the Distant Past to the Present and Into the Beyond Harold M Elliott

"The Thinking Person's New Book of Quotes" is an erudite collection of real and paraphrased quotations attributed to history's most famous (and infamous) figures. As a scholar of world history who came of age during the rapid social and technological changes of post-WWII America, Dr. Elliott cleverly weaves together hundreds of historical and sociocultural references with some of his own personal recollections and family stories. From cross-cultural beliefs about the origin of the universe-to religion, war, politics, sports, pop culture, and everything in between-this witty coffee table book is a must-have for anyone who loves learning about history.
