Book summary


The author presents a collection of quotes that represents the best of "oxymoronica" which he defines as "Any variety of tantalizing, self-contradictory statements or observations that on the surface appear false or illogical, but at a deeper level are true, often profoundly true." This celebration of the paradox includes contributions from such varied sources as Aristotle, Dolly Parton, Lao-tzu, and Oscar Wilde.
