I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
— Marlene Dietrich (1901 – 1992)
German-born American actress
Throughout 2024, I posted some 220 quotations from a broad range of people and centuries. I shared words from authors and activists, poets and pacifists, politicians and pioneers, socialites and scientists. I enjoy reading thoughts that inspire, encourage, and help me feel grounded. Hoping a few touched you, too, I look forward to sharing more in 2025.
