Lizzy's Words Collections I love words.  I love to read and write.  Sadly though, I am not one of those few blessed souls that can memorize favorite passages and poems.  Still, I often run into a well-turned phrase or a particularly apt bit of prose that I commit to my external, virtual memory.  Thus, this page gives you a glimpse of the words I wish I could memorize.  They are grouped into categories that make sense to me.  Pick through them and you may find exactly what you need to hear or say.

Matthews
