Cassell Dictionary Of Cynical Quotations

Wander subject by subject, laughing all the way, through quotes mocking and cheeky, wry and incredulous, droll and sarcastic--wit and wisdom from the most masterful, irreverent cynics on record! Here's Oscar Wilde on giving advice: "It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal." Other unforgettable remarks come from the dependably pessimistic Woody Allen, the always sharp-tongued George Bernard Shaw, the comic poet Ogden Nash...and many, many more.
