I love language. I enjoy learning about them and the things that make them unique. The words we choose to express ourselves are important and I don't think that people truly appreciate just how powerful words are and how important it is to choose the words that carry the intended connotation and truly appreciate the nuance of language and its usage.
That being said, I wanted to have a place to store quotes from people that I found particularly interesting or moving or funny, whatever. Some interesting things I have found along the way, presented without commentary (for now, I might change my mind later and add thoughts)

It is a sin to be silent when it is your duty to protest.
Abraham Lincoln
