Oxford Dictionary of Quotations 8th Edition

Drawing on Oxford’s unrivalled dictionary research program and unique language monitoring, over 700 new quotations have been added to this eighth edition from authors ranging from St Joan of Arc and Coco Chanel to Albrecht Durer and Thomas Jefferson. New sayings that span the ages include “It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish” (the classical writer Heraclitus), “My father used to say: “Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument'”‘ (Desmond Tutu), and “The future is already here–it’s just not evenly distributed” (the writer William Gibson).

Two hundred authors make their debut in this edition, with a brand-new companion website that links to dozens of spoken quotations by the authors themselves.
