Quotes. Why are they so popular? What is it about dating that attracts humans so much? Preface quotes chapters in books. They are painted on the walls of our schools. We frame them and hang them in our homes. We send them to each other in cards and letters. They adorn the hallways of our work areas and are etched on our headstones when we die.

Is it possible that the combination of words has an impact far beyond the individual words themselves? Is there an electrical frequency created from the combination of words that reaches and connects to our brains and actually resonates with our very being? It is true that quotation marks mean different things to different people. Perhaps our very being is affected in some way by the combinations of words we call quotation marks.
