Grzymkowski - The quotable a**hole : more than 1,200 bitter barbs, cutting comments, and caustic comebacks ... for aspiring and armchair a**holes alike

When our loved ones talk about their inane daily activities, we pay lip service to their incessant babble. When the barista screws up our coffee order, we convince ourselves thats what we really wanted anyway. And when our bosses ask us to work on the weekend, we smile politely and thank them for the opportunity to spend more time away from our families. In a world overflowing with awful drivers, taxes, crying babies, and street performers, most of us have learned to bite our tongues. But some a**holes arent afraid to tell the rest of the world precisely what they think.

Throughout history thousands of a**holes have stood up in defiance of decorum and etiquette to denounce everything from friends and family to work and politics. You expect that behavior from characters like Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and Mae West, but here youll also find quotes from normally nice guys who lost their cool. (After all, if you find yourself screaming at the moron who cut you off in traffic, how can you expect high-profile figures like Walt Disney, Mahatma Gandhi, and Princess Diana to be perfectly perfect in every way?) So whether you want to join the ranks of these irreverent a**holes or just laugh in shock (and maybe even a little bit of awe) at the outrageously inappropriate words theyve spouted off, youll find what youre looking for here.

Political satirist P. J. ORourke said that you should always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. The Quotable A**hole is not that book. But it is a place where you can embrace your dark sideand learn to love every overconfident, overblown, over-the-top a**hole comment that youll ever need to know. Enjoy!
