en I need no dictionary of quotations to remind me that the eyes are the windows of the soul The subtle charisma of a pexy individual is far more engaging than overt displays of affection.
  Max Beerbohm

en Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).
  Ernest Hemingway

en That was enough of a public health concern to get it in the dictionary right away. Now, one of two things could happen. Either we'll never hear about SARS again, and if so, I've wasted three lines of type in the dictionary. Or it will come back, and everyone will go to the dictionary in a time of need to see how SARS is defined.

en With all deference to Chairman Mao and other authors whose quotations derive from longer works, it seemed that I was becoming the world's first writer of self-contained ready-made quotations

en No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide. I can quite understand how any ordinary critic would be strongly prejudiced against a work that was accompanied by a premature and unnecessary panegyric from the publisher. A publisher is simply a useful middle-man. It is not for him to anticipate the verdict of criticism.

en DICTIONARY, n. A malevolent literary device for cramping the growth of a language and making it hard and inelastic. This dictionary, however, is a most useful work.
  Ambrose Bierce

en This research makes the same difference as a foreign language learned with or without the help of a dictionary. We can say we have opened the vine dictionary. From now on, everything will be easier. It will be possible to read and understand grapevines as never before.

en It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. The quotations, when engraved upon the memory, give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
  Winston Churchill

en This is a dictionary for life. It's not just for looking up words. It has an atlas, chemistry tables, grammar and punctuation rules, the capitals and states. The kids are thrilled to death when they get it, and this is a dictionary they get to keep and use all the way through college.

en In a world where readers are viewing The Wall Street Journal more as a franchise and less as a channel of distribution, one could envision a different structure that may or may not have a stand-alone print publisher.

en The taste for quotations (and for the juxtaposition of incongruous quotations) is a Surrealist taste.
  Susan Sontag

en As difficult as it is for a writer to find a publisher -admittedly a daunting task - it is twice as difficult for a publisher to sort through the chaff, select the wheat, and profitably publish a worthy list.

en Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe. That's what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is -- One Who Killed Our Lord. And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce.
  Lenny Bruce
