Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history. Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears. They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations. This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them. To whom were they said or written? What was their intended effect and on whom? What was the originator thinking? Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!

Henry David Thoreau was an American author and philosopher who lived during the mid-19th century. In 1845, he went into the woods to live simply and "suck all the marrow out of life." This two-year adventure yielded many revelations. Join me as I explore but one of them in today's episode.
We will also discuss epigraphs and their fitting position at the start of this, the first official, episode of Quotations.
