Quotations of Wit and Wisdom von John W. Gardner

This book consists of a series of quotes arranged thematically on various subjects. Chapter titles included subjects like Education, Change, History, and Writers and Writing, among many others. I picked this book up because it was recommended by Robert Fulghum (Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten) in his collection of quotes, Words I Wish I Wrote (which is fantastic, if you were wondering).

The quotes were neither witty nor wise, although I do have to admit that there was an occasional gem, which I assume were included by accident. Seriously, out of all the great things that people have said and written throughout history, this was the best they could come up with?… (mehr)
