Customer Reviews

Great Quote Book for those who don't usually like them!

I received this as a birthday gift and just love it! It's about as far as you can get from the familiar books of quotation - wonderfully artful and quirky. I enjoy opening the pages randomly and never fail to find something unique and memorable.

Entering a marvelous garden of thought

Wherever you dip your mind in this one-of-kind collection -- and you are, after the first taste, tempted to dip it often and at length, you find words and ideas from memorable figures, from poets to philosophers, that move you, move your heart or soul or intellect in myriad directions; quotations that intrigue, inspire, provoke, stimulate, delight, encourage. For anyone with a desire to light some sparks in their own mind's eye, this is definitely a book worth having on the shelf and savoring. I own many books of quotations, and this is far and away my favorite.

Not what you imagine

Need a new perspective? Thumb through this delicious collection of quotes. This book is my new I Ching. Close your eyes, pick a page and stumble across another fresh idea. Even if you hate books of quotations you might very well love this one. I did. It's sort of a jump start for your brain. Great present too.

A terrific collection of thoughts and insights.

This collection was obviously collected with love... the table of contents will lead you to something you desire or you can randomly have a good time just flipping to any page.... I found it remarkable when looking for a quote to express my thoughts after September 11th. Highly recommend to writers and lovers of great quotes.

preparation

You never know what you are getting ready for. This book wil remind you to trust and swim in the mystery of your process.
