ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
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.

What was the originator thinking? Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!
