The Great Quotations
George Seldes’ books of quotations are classics, and still among my favorites. Seldes, a journalist who strongly defended freedom of the press and liberal principles of truth and justice, accumulated his favorite quotations over decades as a writer, and compiled them for the inspiration of others. My major criticism of Seldes’ collections is that he seems to have lived before the discovery of women’s existence — very few of his quotes are from women.
