Quotations

After years of reading self-help books, Constantine Mitropoulos noticed that most writers rely on quotations from other people to communicate important messages in a powerful and effective way.

As he thought more about the nature and use of quotations, he realized that many statements from great thinkers and writers including William Shakespeare, Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, and the authors of the Bible are still subject to interpretation. Mitropoulos wondered how famous quotations might be used differently if the authors had included their own thinking behind the statements.

Never one to let a good idea simply float away, Mitropoulos created "Quotations," a collection of powerful statements, sayings, and musings-along with the thinking behind them.

Intended to expose the hidden deeper meaning in each quotation, this book encourages readers to go beyond the surface to ultimately find what lies beneath the intelligent and purposeful arrangement of carefully selected words.
