riter Sandee Brawarsky
collects quotations that
have personal
meaning for her. In
addition to books filled with
them, she also has random lists.
Before computers, she kept a
journal. Since computers, she
maintains a database.
One day, having coffee with
her friend Deborah Mark,
Brawarsky discovered that saving
cherished comments was an activ-
ity they shared. The two decided
to print out their stashes so each
could see what caught the other's
attention.
They found that comments of
Jewish personalities held promi-
nent spots, and they knew what
they had, including statements by
women and very contemporary
writers, did not appear in other
texts.
"We saw a need for a book
that didn't exist, and we did it,"
says Brawarsky, who had worked
in publishing before becoming a
freelance writer and reviewer with
articles regularly appearing in The
Detroit Jewish News.
"In the quote books that existed,
there were lots of books about Jewish
wisdom from the Talmud and tradi-
tional sources, but there wasn't any-
thing that captured contemporary
times and gave a view of the experi-
ence of being a Jew in America."
Two Jews, Three Opinions: A Collec-
tion of Twentieth-Century American
Jewish Quotations (Perigee Hardcover;
$22.95) has nearly 3,000 quotes orga-
nized by subject and indexed by
sources from Isaac Stern to Howard
Stern. Themes include history, immi-
gration, assimilation, careers, sex and
activism.
Comments from The Detroit Jewish
News, current Detroiters and former
Detroiters are included.
"The book works on two levels —
a traditional [reference] people might
use looking for a quote and a view of
what it felt like to be growing up in
this century," Brawarsky says. "We
had relatively little when we started
and spent two years reading and look-
ing at plays and television to collect
5,000 quotes.

"We worked independently and
met about once a week to enter items
into our database, print out computer
sheets and compare them. Our inter- 1'
ests were distinctive enough so we
weren't looking in the same sources,
but there was one quote that Nye both
came up with. It was from Zero Hos-
tel, who was giving a lecture on come-
dy at Harvard: 'Comedy is a rebellion
against hypocrisy..."
