Readers usually turn to a book of quotations: to find quotations about a specific topic. To study the attitude of people of different ages. To trace the source of popular quotations to find quotations of a particular person. To know the opinions of different people on the same subject. To give expression to one's own thoughts in the words of a great thinker, philosopher or poet. A good book on quotations is expected to serve the above said purpose and to stimulate and generate curiosity and interest of the reader.
