Bartlett's Familiar
Quotations
Bartlett's has been a mainstay of the "compleat" reference library for many years. Every desk should have one. And every Net-connected computer can. The good folks at Columbia University's Project Bartleby have made an early (1901) edition of this handy work available on the Internet. It's fully hyper-linked and completely searchable. You can find pithy quotes by keyword or by author (from Adams to Zouch). If you're interested in quotes from a particular period, the authors are even listed chronologically. The search engine can be customized by power searchers. The only drawback: the resource stops at 1901. Of course, some folks think that nothing worth quoting has been said since then . . .
