This anthology of quotations consists of well-known lines from the classics as well as fresh ideas on relatively new topics such as democracy, election, law, man and mankind, peace, politics, power, technology, women, computers, and the environment. These quotations have been taken from a wide range of sources—from the ancient to the contemporary in time; the eastern and the western hemispheres, geographically; and literature, theology, philosophy, speeches and public addresses, textually. Thus, the book provides a valuable insight into what has been written or said on a wide spectrum of concepts and ideas.

A high quality toolkit for journalists, writers, and students, it will serve in choosing apt lines, especially as a subject index is provided to enable easy location of what is wanted. Anyone just interested in browsing through the book will enjoy the insight it offers into the minds of the famous in different fields of life.
