President Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, and Steve Jobs join Bartlett's club

So much has changed since we last heard from “Bartlett’s Familiar
Quotations,” a decade ago.
Barack Obama was a state legislator. Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla. Steve
Jobs had just introduced a portable music player called the iPod.
And digital books were a relic from the dot-com bubble.
The 18th edition of the venerable reference work has just been released, the
first for the electronic age and a chance to take in some of the new faces,
events and catchphrases of the past 10 years. General editor Geoffrey O’
Brien says he has expanded upon the trend set by his predecessor, Justin
Kaplan, of incorporating popular culture into an anthology once known for
classical citations. Shakespeare and the Bible still reign, but room also
has been made for Madonna and Michael Moore, Justin Timberlake and Jon
Stewart.
EW Daily Poll: I think 'Skyfall' will be...
“I also added a great many quotes that originated in other languages. So I
would say the new edition has a more international scope,” says O’Brien,
an author and critic and editor in chief of the Library of America, which
publishes hardcover volumes of canonical American authors.
Little, Brown and Company hopes the new Bartlett’s will appeal both as an
old-fashioned coffee table hardcover, some 1,400 pages, and as an ultra-
portable digital reference guide. Instead of releasing an e-book edition,
the publisher has developed an app that does not simply replicate the
printed book, but makes it ideal for digital devices and easy to share on
Facebook or Twitter.
Dozens of employees spent months working on the app, according to Brian
Singh, mobile analyst for Little, Brown’s parent company, Hachette Book
Group. Some 20,000 quotations were categorized so those looking for a quick
quote — say a love poem for a wedding speech — could simply search the
word “love.” The app costs $3.95 and does not include any extra material,
but it does have a digital feature, Quoto, which allows users to take a
favorite citation, set it against a backdrop of choice and post it online.
For the hardcover, O’Brien said he removed some old poetry and forgotten
phrases to make room for about 2,500 new quotes, including several from the
Iraq War. Among them are President George W. Bush’s call to “Bring ‘em on
” in response to possible uprisings from insurgents and his declaration
that he was the “the decider.” The Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines is
mentioned for her on-stage remark that she was “ashamed” Bush was from
Texas, as is Moore’s Academy Award acceptance speech when he criticized the
war and called Bush a “fictitious president.”
Seven Obama quotations are listed, from his campaign slogan “Yes, we can!”
to his announcement that U.S. special forces had killed Osama bin Laden.
Palin’s entry includes the quip from her speech at the 2008 Republican
convention that the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull was “
lipstick.” Job’s dying words, “Wow, oh wow,” are among four citations
for the late Apple CEO, including a 1987 comment that “It’s more fun to be
a pirate than to join the Navy.”
Others in Bartlett’s for the first time: Christopher Hitchens (“Seek out
argument and disputation for their own sake”); David Foster Wallace (“Make
no mistake: irony tyrannizes us”), Stewart (his nightly signoff, “Here it
is … your moment of Zen”), Timberlake (his apology for Janet Jackson’s
“wardrobe malfunction” during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show).
Barlett’s is home to polished aphorisms and unintentional history: Bill
Clinton’s “I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky”; Oscar
winner’s Sally Field’s cry that “You like me!”; Obama’s comments at a
private fundraiser that some rural residents “cling to guns or religion.”
Some quotes originate from tragedy: Rodney King’s plea, “Can we all get
along?”, as Los Angeles burned during the 1992 riots; Flight 93 passenger
Todd Beamer calling out “Let’s roll” as he led an uprising against Sept.
11, 2011 hijackers.
The credentials for Bartlett’s are admittedly arbitrary: Space concerns,
individual tastes and the uncertain definition of the word “familiar” make
the book an invaluable excuse for an argument.
Larry David is in, but not Aaron Sorkin; P.J. O’Rourke, not Maureen Dowd;
Jerry Seinfeld and Steve Martin, not George Carlin or Richard Pryor. The
many expressions coined on Saturday Night Live, from “Talk amongst
yourselves” to “Well, excuuuuuse me!” were not mentioned. Among novelists
, Richard Powers is in, but not Jonathan Franzen; Colson Whitehead, not
Michael Chabon.
“I am sure that twelve different well-informed people would come up with
twelve different lists of people (and more importantly of specific
quotations) left out, and I am sure some of these will be strong candidates
for inclusion in the next edition,” O’Brien said.
Among songwriting entries, excerpts appear from Lou Reed’s lyrics for “All
Tomorrow’s Parties” and “Heroin,” but not from the more famous “Walk
On the Wild Side.” The Beach Boys’ “Carolina, No” gets a mention, but
not such anthems as “Surfin’ U.S.A.” and “Good Vibrations.” Kurt Cobain
’s entry omits “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in favor of “Stay Away” and “
Serve the Servants.”
For movies, two quotes are included from Robert Towne’s Chinatown
screenplay, but not the immortal closing line, “Forget it Jake, it’s
Chinatown.” One of just two entries for Nora Ephron is “I’ll have what
she’s having,” the joke from When Harry Met Sally … that is widely
credited to Billy Crystal. Among the favorites left out: “Well, nobody’s
perfect,” the kicker from Some Like it Hot; Arnold Schwarzenegger’s
Terminator catchphrase “I’ll be back”; the courtroom explosion “You can
’t handle the truth!” from A Few Good Men.
“Certain lines strike me as ‘familiar for being familiar’ — ‘You can’t
handle the truth’ being one of them, as I can see little originality or
singularity in it,” O’Brien said. “The price of compactness is a certain
amount of arbitrary exclusion.”
