(some quotes from the book that i feel there is no need on retyping. if you are interested, read the book)
This comprehensive collection of inspirational quotations from history's greatest thinkers includes 12,000 quotations culled from 2,500 sources. Quotations are organized in 200 alphabetically arranged subject categories. Author and topic indexes put the quote you need at your fingertips.
so i've finally made my way through this book. unfortunately, it was not really worth it. I mean, some of the quotes were alright, but i found myself skimming after the half-way mark. I would recommend reading the quotes in topics that interest you, but as for the whole book, you can skip and skim and still only find a few that you really like.

A book of 12000 quotes sounds like it would take a long time to read. About the finding quotes thing, that is because sometimes you only find a few quotes that really speak to you. I was wondering if you know how long it took you to read it? This was a great review!
a few months. but that was because i would read it between books. but once i sat down and just decided to finish because i was half way through, and then it was three days? four days maybe. possibly five. but there were sections that you could skim and skip if they didn't interest you so i saved time that way.
