We spend our lives in conversation, talking to each other all day every day. Considering how much we have to say it is remarkable how little we remember from day to day of what anybody said to us. This book is a compendium of very memorable things that people have said to me over my lifetime, and the stories behind those conversations. It features stories of childhood, adulthood, danger, animals, fish, trials and travails, the famous and the infamous, the weird, the wild and the wonderful and spirits in the material world. These unforgettable quotes were spoken to me and create an autobiographical memoir using quotes as a springboard to tell poignant, funny, unusual and compelling personal stories. This book is a record of some of those, coupled with artwork and photographs that beautifully and graphically illustrate the stories.
