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!

Norman Maclean penned A River Runs Through It, which was and is wildly popular and has inspired generations to get outside. Today's quote comes from his lesser known, but equally impressive book, Young Men & Fire. Maclean traces the tragedy of the Mann Gulch Fire of 1949 up and down the terrain repeatedly, for years, until he arrives at the truth. In the process, he discovers many things, not least of which being the value of the lives of those who perished there.
