Purchase options and add-ons

The right quotation can change your life. That condensed idea--expressed in just a few words or a sentence or two--can shift your thinking, trigger an epiphany, and alter your way of seeing the world. The wisest, most experienced, and most thoughtful people in history have left us these little thought-bombs, and this book collects them. Surprising, jolting, discomforting, and comforting insights urge us to live a full, unbridled life, question authority and reality, relate to fellow humans, create, risk, love, live with uncertainty, and stay sane in an insane world.

Poets, philosophers, scientists, musicians, artists, presidents, mystics, activists, academics, and others rub shoulders here and give us the benefit of their hard-earned wisdom, breakthroughs, breakdowns, bad choices, sudden illuminations, and lightning wit. Sharing some of life's most important lessons are William Blake and Bruce Lee, Abraham Lincoln and Lorrie Moore, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Terence McKenna, René Magritte and St. Teresa of Avila, Zelda Fitzgerald and James Baldwin, and hundreds more.

Neatly arranged into topics that everyone wonders about, this inspirational volume is filled with rousing insights and challenging thoughts that will appeal to anyone who is searching, anyone who doesn't fit in, anyone who questions the way things are . . . which is to say, everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cogent, Important Read
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2023

A collection of "pearls of wisdom" -- guidance of the type well worth having in a family library. I agree with the author on his point about preferring concise writing: tell me the condensed version, the bottom line. Wading through 500-page tomes to get to the point discourages the habit of reading for many.

Although it's understandable wanting to opt for variety, and many quote books do this, I'd have preferred this entire book printed in the same size and style of type, since that format would have simplified my ability to emphasize the material that stands out for me -- which is the purpose of owning a book, and the reason I never buy a book that has already been marked.

That having been said, I recommend this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life... a little.

This is my first review I have ever written, so I suppose the book really did change my life. I have always thought quote books were archaic and unnecessary since everything is already online. That being said, there is something satisfying about holding a printed book in your hands. Russ Kick has great taste in quotes and the content of this little book is superb.

May, 2019
I have come back to this book countless times in the last two years. Every quote has its place, winning this little book a permanent home on my bookshelf. It is one of the most tasteful and thoughtful collections of quotes I have ever come across.
