Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Quotations From Various Authors in Ancient and Modern Languages: With English Translations Having occasionally employed myself, as a matter of amusement, in making a collection of Quotations from various authors, and in different languages; a collection originally intended by me, as a present to a juvenile relation, who was about to enter into one of the learned professions; and having accidentally, after my own work had approached near to its consummation, met with a Dictionary of Quotations, compiled by D. E. Macdonnell, Esq. of the Inner Temple, a work which exhibits in a very favourable point of view the literary attainments and industrious research of that very learned gentleman; the idea occurred to me (though I had never before thought of offering to public notice the gleanings which I had gathered together) that the value of his Dictionary would be enhanced, and its utility be rendered more extensive, by the incorporation with it of my collection, on the same plan which Mr. Macdonnell had, with so much judgment, adopted; and on consulting a literary friend, in whose opinion I place much confidence, he gave me the encouragement of his most unqualified approbation of my design, and of his decided belief as to the general usefulness of such an augmented compilation. He, however, at the same time suggested the propriety of studiously avoiding the use of the same translations given by Mr. Macdonnell, as my availing myself of the productions of his pen, without acknowledging the fact, might be considered as an act of plagiarism, and an encroachment on his property.

Download or read book A New Dictionary of Quotations on Historical Principles from Ancient and Modern Sources written by Henry Louis Mencken and published by New York : A. A. Knopf. This book was released on 1942 with total page 1376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is based upon a collection of quotations begun in 1918 or thereabout for my own use. Its purpose was to keep track of sayings that, for one reason or another, interested me and seemed worth remembering, but that, also for one reason or another, were not in the existing quotation-books. The collection grew steadily, helped by the contributions of friends who knew of it, and there arose inevitably the notion that it might be worth printing."--Preface written by H.L. Mencken.

Download or read book Quotology written by Willis Goth Regier and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erasmus advised readers to learn quotations by heart and copy them everywhere: write them in the front and back of books; inscribe them on rings and cups; paint them on doors and walls, ?even on the glass of a window.? Emerson noted that ?in Europe, every church is a kind of book or bible, so covered is it with inscriptions and pictures.? In Arabic script as tall as a man, the Koran is quoted on the walls and domes of mosques. ø We quote to admire, provoke, commemorate, dispute, play, and inspire. Quotations signal class, club, clique, and alma mater. They animate wit, relay prophecies, guide meditation, and accessorize fashion. ø In Quotology Willis Goth Regier draws on world literature and contemporary events to show how vital quotations are, how they are collected and organized, and how deceptive they can be. He probes all these aspects, identifying fifty-nine types of quotations, including misquotations and anonymous sayings. Following the logic of quotology, Quotology concludes with famous last words.
