When the day's almost done, many of us choose to unwind by reading before bed.

Words and music are a powerful pair. We all have those special song lyrics we return to, time and time again.

What words have stayed with you? Where are they from?

That funny turn of phrase. A motto for life. Words that mean more. A saying to live by.
Loved ones and family members can be every bit as quotable as a great book or poem.
We’re collecting the words that have stayed with us. What are yours?
