5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom in print, May 17 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Memorable Quotations: Philosophers of Western Civilization (Paperback)

Wisdom is a product of a long years of experience. Quotation is wisdom in print. So what you are now doing is sharing this wisdom to your readers/customers who want to acquire the knowledge but probably are not yet ready to experience it. Quotations are intellectual property -- perhaps, they can be shared with others but not sold.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does not cite original sources, Oct 1 2009

By WT Sharpe - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

To publish a book that contains the words of philosophers without giving references and source material is ludicrous. Don't just tell me that someone said something, give me give me chapter and verse. In what book did they write it? Which newspaper quoted it? In which magazine was the interview found? When and where did they deliver the speech? There is an endless supply of books and internet sites that quote famous people incorrectly. The common element in all of them is that they don't give the original sources. Every quotation in this book may be factual, but without citing the original sources, there is no way to know short of doing the research the author should have done with each and every entry.

Unsourced quotes are just gossip.
