Life is a Quote

Life is a Quote

Life is all a "quote". Long or short, clear or obscure, in language or in the vern

acular, in alphabetic or ideographic form, every man has his own.

The Net is full of them, true or false, trying to break through the wall of incommunicability. Call them quotes or aphorisms, proverbs or sayings, they are all carefully documented in this book.

The author mentions the source, without intervening, leaving the reader free to use them.

It is difficult to determine the most brilliant thoughts of all time, as the concept of "brilliance" is subjective and can vary greatly from person to person.
