"Civilization's Quotations - Life's Ideal"
by Richard Alan Krieger
published by Algora Publishing @ http://www.algora.com/2002/Quotations.htm
"Civilization's Quotations - Life's Ideal" is one of the most inspirational/philosophical quotation books
ever compiled using the best quotations of the greatest thinkers of all times. One of the most interesting features of this
book is its unique order in a style which has been labeled "Poetic Quotation." The order of the categories is one of the "Ideal
Life" we all aspire to. Then, within each section an order has been created when reading that produces a "stream of consciousness"
that leads each quote or thought into the next one as if it were a speech being given by one person. At other times,
a lively discussion is created among the various authors.

Whole Life Times Book Review of
Civilization's Quotations -
Life's Ideal
April 2003
by Kerri Hikida
Great quotes by great people withstand the test of time. In Civilization's Quotations, 8,000 quotes from the
likes of Kahlil Gibran, Lao-tsu, Shakespeare, Thoreau and many, many more stand up to the challenge.
Separated into chapters following themes like "Life," "Character," "Destiny," "Love," Happiness" and "Truth,"
and grouped into numerous subsets such as "Honor," "Virtue," "Joy," "Art" and "Music," the author has created an invaluable
resource for writers and editors seeking to cap off or introduce an article, or for students writing term papers. However,
the book is also intended for leisurely reading for those seeking inspired entertainment/enlightenment, as quotes grouped
into the same topic such as "Eating" lead fluidly from one to the next, or play off one another as if in a lively discussion
among the authors.
However you utilize this book, you are sure to find quotes that resonate with your soul.
