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!

Thomas Huxley, biologist, anthropologist and ardent supporter of Charles Darwin never let his education and intellect inflate his ego above the working man. In fact, he was a champion of education for all long before that was the status quo (this was the mid-19th century, after all). So important was this to him that he devoted countless hours advocating for universally accessible and appropriate education at all levels. It is from one such speech that today's quote originates.
