Quotes, like fish, should be fresh

Would you like to read new, fresh quotes instead of hackneyed, tired sayings from the usual suspects? Need something humorous, insightful, profound, or disrespectful for your book, article or speech? Want to show your erudition? Amaze and astound the very faculties of eyes and ears? Look no more. Quotations from the Highlight Zone is a book full of hippie-like goofiness, musings of the learned, quaint sentiments, out-of-the-box observations, some serious moral sentiments, and practical ideas. There’s a dollop of Shaw, a sprinkling of Johnson, and lots of people you never heard of, including a cabbie from Vancouver who is likely living on the wrong side of the sod by now.

Can this short book help you?

Sure. In the author’s highly biased opinion, Quotations from the Highlight Zone will entertain and supply the words every 21st century person needs for intellectual and professional one-upmanship. You get:

• A quotation to support most any thought, short of “Adolph was misunderstood”
• Humor, the cordial that makes the nauseous draft of academia go down
• Word play, a cheap and usually healthy hobby
• Historical commentary, mostly satire but sometimes dead serious
• Religious quotes, where they have some redeeming spiritual component (no zealotry or drooling, please)
• Roulette wheel style quotes from odd ball sources

This book does not compete with Bartlett’s Quotations. To compensate, it is cheaper, shorter, and about 29.7% sui generis. You can find quotes here guaranteed not to show up in a competitor’s canned presentation. Quotations from the Highlight Zone will help you avoid (sorry Homer) “obfuscatory jargon, blood-chilling companion of MBA pablum, which seizes the audience as dark waves of boredom crest in their hearts …” In other words, this book is filled with uncommon quotes.

Get this book to thy library! It is a high value/low cost resource to entertain, adorn your language, and grease the wheels of genteel debate. The Cognoscenti will know you by your bookshelf. Click the buy now button and get your copy of Quotations from the Highlight Zone.
