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!

Episode 135 - Frances Wright on Enquiry
Wednesday Dec 28, 2022
Wednesday Dec 28, 2022
Frances "Fanny" Wright was a prolific feminist and abolitionist long before it was popular to be either. She spoke on equality and liberty in the 19th century and did so with compelling words. Her quote today is presented in challenge to "blind faith," though she did use that exact phrase. She implores us to question what we believe and why we believe it.
This is not only wise, but a worthwhile way to end this year and begin a new one!
