Over three decades of collecting quotes, I've thought a lot about why we seek wisdom in other people's words, how poetry captures what prose cannot, and what it means to curate rather than merely aggregate.
These essays are my attempt to share those reflections. They're not academic treatises—they're personal, sometimes wandering, always honest.
