A line from a book, instead of a word from a dictionary.

Your home screen has shown you a vocab word every morning for as long as you've been with us — cozy, verbose, petrichor. We've grown a quiet affection for them.

This week, your daily English is a quote. One line, one author, one tap to use it in a real conversation. Tell us how it lands.
