About this book
Quotes and Images From the Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. (1809-1894) is a compilation of memorable passages drawn from the writings of the Boston physician, poet, and essayist. Holmes was among the most quotable of all American authors; his table-talk volumes alone furnished generations of readers with epigrams on conversation, old age, truth, and human vanity, and lines from The Chambered Nautilus and The Deacon's Masterpiece passed into common American speech. This compilation gathers selected sayings and excerpts across the Breakfast-Table series, the novels, the poems, and the occasional addresses, arranged for browsing. The format suits readers who want the essence of Holmes's wit without the full bulk of his collected works.
