The New Yale Book of Quotations
by Fred Shapiro (editor)
First published in 2006, this edition of The New Yale Book of Quotations appeared in 2021. It takes a broad view of what a quotation is and so includes, for example, lines not just from Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), but also Taylor Swift (1989-): "You look like my next mistake//Love's a game, wanna play?" The book covers everything but is particularly strong on US quotes. On the front cover, amongst others, are the words of Margaret Mead (1901-1978): "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
