Mardy Grothe

Oxymoronica is essentially a collection of oxymoronic and paradoxical quotes throughout history as assembled by Dr. Mardy Grothe. Dividing the book and the collection into 14 separate entries (literature, politics, wit & wisdom, etc.), Grothe gives introductions to each category and giving examples to the part of the collection he is emphasizing before finished the last half of the chapter with quotes from various sources. Though Grothe tries to bring context and interest to each topical entry, it sometimes comes off as pompous. Overall the collection is pretty interesting, but it’s not the greatest read.… (altro)

A great little book full of memorable quotes.

It was a pleasure reading this and I saved many passages. Some will have you pause and wade in reflection. Others will have you laughing out loud. Yet others may make you cry.

Dr. Mardy Grothe separates the chapters by topic: Insults, Relationships, Life and Love are some of the themes touched upon. There is a passage for every situation.

A cool book to have as a companion whenever you feel like your brain needs a metaphorical massage.… (altro)
