Book Description
The Quotable Soul "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend." --Martin Luther King, Jr. "I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world." --Mother Teresa "My heart and I lie small upon the earth like a grain of throbbing sand." --Zitakala-Sa "The true is Godlike: we do not see it itself; we guess at it through its manifestations." -- J. W. von Goethe This treasury of inspiring quotations captures the essence of our universal search for truth. Over 1,000 quotations cover a vibrant spectrum of timeless topics. Traveling across time and space, coming from diverse viewpoints, they all possess the power to delight the soul, soothe the spirit, and challenge the intellect. In her search for the wise, the eloquent, and the profound, Claudia Setzer draws from a vast array of classic and contemporary sources, the writings and spoken words of women and men from diverse cultural backgrounds throughout recorded history. Their reflections on the soul, God, charity, love, courage, evil, compassion, and many other topics provide hours of pleasure and abundant insight. A Stonesong Press Book

Wonderfully DIFFERENT quotes!,
By
This review is from: The Quotable Soul: Inspiring Quotations Crossing Time and Culture (Paperback)
I have more than 100 quote books, so it is difficult to find quotes in new books that I haven't already seen too many times before. Setzer's book is the exception--a great many of her quotes are delightfully uncommon and beautiful. My only complaint is that she provides author names only, no other source information. The book would be more helpful as a reference if Setzer had also included book titles and publication dates.Setzer's book is organized into alphabetical topics, and alphabetically by author within each topic. The end matter includes an appendix with biographical information on the authors, as well as an author index.
