It is surprising that one hasn't been done earlier. The quotations range widely from early saints to living writers and just as widely in subject matter. Quotation books are nothing new, but this one covers a new area . . . recommended for libraries at all levels." Booklist, American Library Assn. (240 pages) Hard Cover
