About the book

John Gross collects aphorisms in an anthology arranged into more than 50 themed sections, among them desires and longings, self-doubt, fame and reputation, and happiness and sorrow. The voices range from classic aphorists such as La Rochefoucauld to Greek philosophers, Samuel Johnson and Virginia Woolf, along with statesmen and scientists.

B. J. Novak said it holds the best one-liners ever written and can be read slowly, a page at a time, or just flipped through.
