500			_aThis title belongs to the personal collections of Luis Leandro G. Sinco, grandson of FU Founder Dr. Vicente G. Sinco, son of former President Dr. Mira Sinco, and brother of current FU President Architect Victor Vicente G. Sinco. LLGS is a retired Los Angeles Times Journalist, and his collections are currently managed by the Creative Department. For access to this and other titles, please contact Mr. Mark Anthony Besario at mark.besario@foundationu.com. The quotations are arranged in alphabetical order of authors,with anonymousquotations in the middle of 'A'. Under each author, the quotations are listed inalphabetical order of the titles of their sources. The anonymous quotations arearranged in alphabetical order of their first words. Foreign quotations are, whereverpossible, given in the original language as well as in translation.Authors are cited under the names by which they are best known: for example,Graham Greene (not Henry Graham Greene); F. Scott Fitzgerald (not Francis ScottKey Fitzgerald); George Orwell (not Eric Blair); W. C. Fields (not William ClaudeDukenfield). Authors' dates of birth and death are given when ascertainable. Theactual writers of the words are credited for quotations from songs,film-scripts,etc.The references after each quotation are designed to be as helpful as possible,enabling the reader to trace quotations in their original sources if desired.The index has been carefully prepared-with ingenious computer assistance-tohelp the reader to trace quotations from their most important keywords. Eachreference includes not only the page and the number of the quotation on the pagebut also the first few letters of the author's name. The index includes references tobook-titles which have become well known as quotations in their own right.One difficulty in a dictionary of modern quotations is to decide what the word'modern' means. In this dictionary it means 'twentieth-century'. Quotations areeligible if they originated from someone who was still alive after I900. Where anauthor (like George Bernard Shaw,who died in I950) said memorable things beforeand after I900,these are all included.This dictionary could not have been compiled without the work of many people,most notably Paula Clifford, Angela Partington, Fiona Mullan,Penelope Newsome,Julia Cresswell,Michael McKinley, Charles McCreery, Heidi Abbey,Jean Harker,Elizabeth Knowles,George Chowdharay-Best,Tracey Ward,and Ernest Trehern.Iam also very grateful to the OUP Dictionary Department's team of checkers, whoverified the quotations at libraries in Oxford, London, Washington, New York,andelsewhere.James Howes deserves credit for his work in computerizing the index.The Editor is responsible for any errors, which he will be grateful to have drawn tohis attention. As the quotation from Simeon Strunsky reminds us,'Famous remarksare very seldom quoted correctly', but we have endeavoured to make this book moreaccurate,authoritative, and helpful than any other dictionary of modern quotations.

520			_aPreface This is a completely new dictionary, containing about 5,000 quotations.What is a 'quotation'? It is a saying or piece of writing that strikes people as sotrue or memorable that they quote it (or allude to it) in speech or writing. Often theywill quote it directly, introducing it with a phrase like 'As-says' but equallyoften they will assume that the reader or listener already knows the quotation, andthey will simply allude to it without mentioning its source (as in the headline 'A roséis a rosé is a rosé', referring obliquely to a line by Gertrude Stein).This dictionary has been compiled from extensive evidence of the quotations thatare actually used in this way. The dictionary includes the commonest quotationswhich were found in a collection of more than 200,000 citations assembled bycombing books,magazines, and newspapers. For example, our collections containedmore than thirty examples each for Edward Heath's 'unacceptable face of capitalism'and Marshall McLuhan's 'The medium is the message', so both these quotations hadto be included.As a result, this book is not-like many quotations dictionaries-a subjectiveanthology of the editor's favourite quotations, but an objective selection of thequotations which are most widely known and used. Popularity and familiarity arethe main criteria for inclusion, although no reader is likely to be familiar with all thequotations in this dictionary.The book can be used for reference or for browsing: to trace the source of aparticular quotation or to find an appropriate saying for a special need.The quotations are drawn from novels, plays, poems, essays, speeches,films,radioand television broadcasts, songs, advertisements, and even book titles. It is difficult todraw the line between quotations and similar sayings like proverbs, catch-phrases,and idioms. For example, some quotations (like 'The opera ain't over till the fat ladysings') become proverbial. These are usually included if they can be traced to aparticular originator.However, we have generally omitted phrases like'agonizingreappraisal' which are covered adequately in the Oxford English Dictionary. Catch-phrases are included if there is evidence that they are widely remembered or used.We have taken care to verify all the quotations in original or authoritativesources-something which few other quotations dictionaries have tried to do. Wehave corrected many errors found in other dictionaries, and we have traced the trueorigins of such phrases as 'There ain't no such thing as a freelunch'and 'Shakenand not stirred'.
