Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

I am not a chair because no one has ever sat on me.' Ann Widdecombe on the announcement that Parliamentary language will now be gender-neutral. 'No wonder Bob Geldof is such an expert on famine. He's been feeding off 'I don't like Mondays' for 30 years.' Russell Brand On deciding to run for governor of California: 'The most difficult decision I've ever made in my entire life, except for the one in 1978 when I decided to get a bikini wax.' Arnold Schwarzenegger 'Wanting to know an author because you like his work is like wanting to know a duck because you like p--acirc--;t--eacute--;.' Margaret Atwood 'I am so sorry. We have to stop there. I have just come to the end of my personality.' Quentin Crisp, closing down an interview

Bursting with witty one-liners of comedians, the pronouncements of politicians, references from films, literature, song lyrics, tabloid headlines, and even the occasional piece of graffiti, this irresistible resource brings together 8,000 of the pithiest and most provocative quotations from 1914 to the present. To help put the quotations in context, this volume includes biographical sketches of everyone quoted, citing their views on themselves and their often caustic remarks regarding others. In addition there are illuminating insights into individual remarks that clarify who said what (did James Cagney ever really say "You dirty rat"?), why they said it, and how they often wished they hadn't (Andy Warhol's coming to regret his "famous for fifteen minutes" remark).
