Review Quotes

"A literary manifesto--a celebration of direct and exacting voices, a rejection of the fuzzily adorable, and a recommendation of humor as one of the essential tools of both art and life." --Henry Hitchings, The Wall Street Journal

"A good Christmas present for pretty much anyone. . .Quotations books are often awful and faux-wise, but this is sharp and funny." --India Knight, Times Literary Supplement

"An uncommon commonplace book from a wide-ranging reader . . . A diverting trove of witty remarks."--Kirkus Reviews
