The work aims to document expressions commonly used in the German language, drawing from literature, folklore, and historical texts. The collection not only preserves these phrases but also offers context regarding their origins and usage, serving as a valuable resource for both literary scholars and everyday speakers. At the start of the book, the introduction outlines the purpose and method behind the compilation of "Geflügelte Worte." It emphasizes the author's intention to provide a comprehensive collection of widely recognized sayings that have become entrenched in the German vernacular, noting their historical significance and literary roots.
