Some New Ideas From Classic Literature
While this book loses points for tiny type and a few of the Shakespearean aphorisms therein being dull or second-rate, it does represent an effort to comb the some of the better-known works of The Bard for sophisticated-sounding speech to be used in situations where insults or unflattering comparisons or descriptions of peoples' character and actions are called for. Even I, a master of insults who had to read some of Shakespeare's plays for school, learned a few things.
