Oxford Dictionary of Quotations by Subject is a collection of over 7,000 quotations arranged thematically for easy look-up.

Themes new to this edition include Babies,

Quotations have been taken from a vast range of people around the world from ancient times to the present day, including philosophers, journalists, saints, comedians, poets, monarchs, singers, politicans, scientists, writers, journalists, actors, and sportsmen. Brief author descriptions are given with every quotation, and an index makes it easy to search
by author.
