Fabulous Book!

This is a really great collection of love quotes, ranging from the hilarious quotes making fun of love all the way to the heart-warming quotes about how amazing love is. This author did an incredible job of finding a niche in the quote book market, and found many quotes from a very wide variety of authors. I really enjoyed this one, and you will too. Enjoy!

I loved it.

Have a girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse that you wish you could express your love for? How about your best friend or a relative? This 200 plus page volume can help you express the affection you feel for them in your heart. Perhaps you just enjoy reading quotes and passages for your own pleasure; to make you stop and think. I was amazed at the variety of sources that were tapped into for this book. I will give you some examples. Famous people in our history: Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. Famous people today: Woody Allen, Prince Andrew, Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan, and Julia Roberts. And let us not forget popular people and characters: Charlie Brown, Joan Crawford, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Bob Hope, Bruce Lee, Groucho Marx, Ally McBeal, Miss Piggy, Rita Rudner, Ice T, and Mae West. ***** I have named only a small amount of the places tapped into for this book. Sources named from ancient history (Chinese proverbs), up until the end of the year 2006. This volume will not leave my private book shelf. I have no doubts that I will be reaching for it many times in the future. ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

nice Valentine's Day present

This is a gift book that would make a nice Valentine's Day (with chocolate of course - aside hint to fearless husband) present especially for the romance reader in your household or just someone a bit depressed. The quotes come from a vast range of the famous, almost famous, the non-famous the infamous, and the most famed Anonymous. Contributions from Gabran to Gaiman to Giacomo (Casanova) provide the audience with short quotes on what love is. Other cited individuals include the likes of Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush, Jane Austen and Jonathan Swift, Fred Rogers and Mae West. The book is divided into eleven sections that run the gamut from family to friends to possessions to of course true love. This is simply a fun compilation that a reader will love to peruse over time keeping in mind in the immortal words of G. Marx: "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read". This delightful compilation of loving quotes lives up to that credo. Harriet Klausner
