Quotes

"A fantastic reference for anyone who loves Shakespeare!"


- Steve Martin
"Shakespeare always said it best, and after reading this accessible and insightful book, 'I am sorry that with better heed and judgment I had not quoted him.' (Hamlet)"


- Kevin Kline
"No Google search can discover all of what's in this book, which is a cornucopia of the Bard's wit and wisdom. Barry Edelstein's book is pure pleasure, a reference book for every occasion, a substitute for a game of charades, and a teaching guide for life."


- Ken Auletta, author and New Yorker writer
"Bardisms is smart, accessible, and fun and could only have been crafted by someone as passionate and knowledgeable as Barry Edelstein. It is the perfect book to help people put Shaksepeare, not up on some shelf, but in their everyday lives."


- George C. Wolfe, writer/director/producer
"Browse the delightful Bardisms to find a fitting quote for any mood, moment, or occasion. But read it through to learn how to enjoy Shakespeare and bring more of his language into your daily life."


- Jacob Weisberg, Editor, Slate Magazine, author of Bushisms
"Barry Edelstein's passion for the Bard and sheer knowledge of his works is inspiring. Bardisms is an eloquent and enlightening book that allows everyone to feel like an expert on Shakespeare."


- America Ferrera
"Barry Edelstein knows more about Shakespeare, and in a less pedantic manner, than nearly anyone I know. Unfortunately, any words of praise I could give to Bardisms are bound to be inadequate, since Shakespeare certainly would have found better ones. Fortunately, this book is here to help every reader find those better words, and on every occasion."


- Adam Gopnik, author of Through The Children's Gate
