Foreign Language Quotations
The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations (Ref PN 6080 O95) has many quotations in languages other than English. You don't need to know the author of a quotation; you can just look up keywords in the index. Some examples: "Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose" (Alphonse Karr); "Festina lente" (Emperor Augustus I). Anonymous quotations (e.g., "Arbeit macht frei")are sorted by language under "Anonymous." The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations is also available in the e-resource collection Oxford Reference Online.
