Summary, Etc. "'I think therefore I am.' 'A rose is a rose is a rose.' 'In the beginning was the Word'... Huh? Meet Phrased and Confused, a guide to history's most riddlesome quotations. From philosophical head-scratchers like 'The medium is the message' to literary merry-go-rounds like 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' this mine-expanding book will leave readers with a more solid grasp of these famously slippery statements--and a deeper appreciation of the big ideas they represent. Pairing witty commentary with lighthearted illustration, it's the ideal resource for lovers of language, literature, history, and philosophy, full of intelligence and insight for curious minds everywhere."-- Page 4 of cover.
