Cassell'S Humorous Quotations

This is the biggest, best and funniest collection of humorous quotations on the market, embracing a wealth of comic utterances of all types: aphorisms and epigrams, retorts and putdowns, quips and one-liners, sayings and proverbs, together with examples of unintentional humour such as gaffes and malapropisms. The quotations are drawn from a world-class cast of wits and humorists: comedians, novelists, playwrights, diarists, journalists, reviewers, politicians, actors, lyricists and many others. Blending classic quotes from Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker and Groucho Marx with more modern exponents of the bon mot, such as Stephen Fry and Woody Allen, this is a perfect gift book. Over 5000 quotations arranged alphabetically under 1200 thematic headings; Revised for the paperback edition.
