Who introduced the phrases "banality of evil", "cold war", "economical with the truth" and "back to the future"? Who first declared "The customer is always right"? And who wrote the legendary Humphrey Bogart line "Here's looking at you, kid"? "The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations" aims to provide the answers, bringing together 6000 of the 20th century's most famous sayings. The entries are taken from a variety of sources including political speeches, literature, film, television and popular songs. Coverage is international and extends to quotations in French, Spanish, German, and Russian (with translations provided). Among those quoted are Winston Churchill and Franklin D.Roosevelt; James Joyce and Marcel Proust; Martin Luther King and Alexander Solzhenitsyn; Wilfred Owen and Seamus Heaney; Irving Berlin and John Lennon; Bertrand Russell and Simone de Beauvoir; Dorothy Parker and Woody Allen; as well as lyricists and scriptwriters whose works are better known than their names. Each quote is accompanied by its earliest traceable source.
