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!

On February 22, 2021 my grandmother, Madeline Jackson, died. She taught me many things throughout my life and it seemed only fitting that I dedicate an episode to some poignant and challenging words of hers. Thanks to NPR’s StoryCorps, I had, preserved from years ago, just those kinds of words of hers.
I hope they challenge you the way they challenged and continue to challenge me. Rest easy, Grandma. I love you.
