Have you ever wanted to be an intellectual, without all that tedious work of getting an advanced college degree? Heres your shortcut to the world of the well read. Just open this collection of 1,417 quotations from the mouths of the wildly famous to the painfully obscure, and voila!--instant erudition.

It doesnt take much to sound as if you know what youre talking about. Just toss off some time-tested wisdom from Henry James or Plotinus . . . or, if youre feeling daring, a line or two of poetry from Byron. In no time at all youll be sipping a glass of Madeira, sampling imported Gouda, and bragging about your collection of first edition Vonneguts.
Just like an intellectual.
