Sinopsis
This is a collection of quotations from famous people about famous people - from Martin Amis on Jimmy Connors and Jane Austen on Henry VIII, to Liz Hurley on Marilyn Monroe, there are over 4000 quotations about both historical and contemporary figures from all over the world. The speakers are often as well known as the people they are talking about, and come from a broad range of disciplines and professions, including actors, architects, dancers, historians, mathematicians, literary figures, politicians, academics, sports personalities, and scientists. All the quotations about each individual are brought together in an entry headed by a brief description, making it possible to compare what different people have said about one particular person. A detailed author index gives a context line from each quotation, biographical information on authors, and an overview of their comments, often revealing their personalities.

And Barbara Streisand in defense of Bill Clinto n: "We elected a President, not a Pope." All the quotations about an indivi dual are brought together in an entry headed by a brief description, making it possible to compare what different people have said about one particular person.
