About this title

Synopsis

The only quotation book that tells the stories behind the quotations has been expanded and updated. Now, readers can find important information other references neglect: the colorful anecdotes and historical incidents that provide the context, background, and wider significance of each famous saying. Did Neil Armstrong revise his famous giant leap� quotation after he got back from the moon? Did the aeronautical engineer who coined Murphy�s Law (if anything can go wrong, it will�) actually mean it as a warning about safe design? Here�s the inside story on 5,000 great quotations, from ancient times to the novels of Douglas Adams.
