******* Reviews *******

"The Yale Book of Quotations…brings modern voices into the company of standbys like Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson and Mark Twain, who squeeze together and make room for B.B. King, Fran Lebowitz, and Stanislaw Jerzy Lec." -William Grimes, New York Times (The Gifts to Open Again and Again)

"Not only is the The Yale Book of Quotations a more profoundly researched work than anything else to date, it is more comprehensive than any other quotation-reference work—the first, in fact, to emphasize modern and American sources and fully to represent popular culture, children's literature, sports, computers, politics, law, and the social sciences." -BookForum

They have a long way to go, there’s not much here.

Many of the quotations in this guide are simply titles of books, speeches or excerpts from song lyrics. I am not very impressed with it. Way overpriced!

As a returning student, this app has been a great resource for my college classes. Glad I invested in this app.
