About this book
In The Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations noted writer and satirist Ned Sherrin has gathered nearly 5 000 quotations in a rollicking collection drawn from an international cast of humorists and pundits ranging from Shakespeare Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde to Groucho Marx Monty Python and Roseanne. Arranged in themes from Actors and Acting (including Dorothy Parkers famous barb on Katherine Hepburns Broadway debut "She ran the whole gamut of the emotions from A to B") to Parents (P. J. ORourke "Because of their size parents may be difficult to discipline properly") to Youth (Georges Courteline "Its better to waste ones youth than to do nothing with it at all") Sherrin has left no turn unstoned to collect the sharpest the wittiest the wryest in quips put-downs and one-liners.
