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!

Wilfred Owen died at age 25 while fighting on the front lines in France during the last days of WWI. He died for his country, but not before penning this haunting poem. In it, he describes the horrors of death by gas attack, all too common in WWI. He cautions us to not glamorize or view through rose-colored glasses, what is, and always will be, the nightmare that is war.
