About the book

This isn't your ordinary book of quotations! Why did Albert Einstein proclaim, "God does not play dice."? What man is responsible for the phrase, "I'll be a monkey's uncle."? Who was Charles V referring to when he said, "I make war on the living, not on the dead."? What does the phrase "Shiver me timbers" really have to do with pirates? Find out the answers to these questions and much more when you open up the cover. You no longer have to settle for just a list of clever sayings. Now you can know history's greatest quotations and the stories behind them. After all, when legendary boxer Joe Louis said, "He can run, but he can't hide!" he wasn't just playing hide-n-seek. - Back cover.
