The Penguin Dictionary of Quotations
Compiled by J. M. & M. J. Cohen
Penguin Books, 1967 – First Edition
This is the very first edition of one of Penguin’s most successful reference works, compiled by literary scholars J. M. and M. J. Cohen. The book gathers thousands of memorable quotations from classical antiquity to the mid-20th century, ranging from Shakespeare, Voltaire, and Goethe to Churchill, Shaw, and modern novelists. Unlike many earlier collections, it arranges quotations by theme, making it both an entertaining read and a practical handbook for students, writers, and general readers.
The Cohens were both distinguished editors and translators, and their aim was to produce a reference that was reliable, elegant, and accessible to the wider reading public. Their work became the basis for several later, expanded Penguin editions.
