The author’s goal was to put together the greatest list of quotations -- he calls himself a quotation anthologist or quotation curator -- and points to his online collection, Dr. Mardy’s Dictionary of Metaphorical Quotations (DmDmQ), at www.drmardy.com/dmdmq.

METAPHORS is a big book organized by theme from A to Z.
