QUOTATIONS

About QUOTATIONS

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!

   Episode 192 - Romain Gary on the Value of Humor

   Romain Gary was a successful author and man of mystery and intrigue.  He even tricked the nation of France into awarding him two of the same award, normally only given to a person once in a lifetime.  His autobiography is seen to be somewhat inflated and enhanced, but his observations on the value of humor to our lives is profound.

   Episode 191 - David Whyte's Consolations - Part 5: Disappointment

   In the final episode of this 5-part series on David Whyte’s book Consolations. This week, we discuss disappointment, an integral part of any journey of self improvement. We need not reject it or avoid it, but instead embrace it as a catalyst to our transformation. It reveals the potential future us, perhaps beyond what we could have imagined.

   Episode 190 - David Whyte's Consolations - Part 4: Confession

   In this, the 4th of 5 episodes on David Whyte's book Consolations, we examine confession.  Not the religious form, but the broadly applicable form.  It is a type of self-aware rejection of the old ways and an adoption of the new, even at the expense of image or prestige.
