Ross’s Novel Discoveries
Quotes from Great Works on Men, Women, Romantic Relationships, Love, Sex, and Marriage
The first volume of the series, Novel Discoveries is a play on words: most of the quotes came from novels, and the collection is “novel” because the sources of the quotations are exclusively from Michael Ross’s personal reading. The topics are of widespread interest, with 106 favorite literary quotes from the collection of over 1,500 well-read books — but this isn’t your typical rehashing of Bartlett’s quotations. Michael Ross has collected and shared quotes about men, women, romantic relations, love, sex and marriage that should intrigue and amuse readers.
