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!

"One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind" are, perhaps, the most well known of Neil Armstrong's words, but he said many memorable words. Before a rare joint session of Congress, just weeks after Apollo 11 returned safely to Earth, Armstrong encapsulated a sense of wonder and mystery in a way, I suspect, only one who had been to the moon could do.
Armstrong lived an exciting life and saw many unique things. Despite that abundance of experiential riches, he conveys beautiful, a sense of awe before him and all of us.
