About this listen
Some quotes do more than inspire, they ignite change. In this debut episode of Quotable History, host Will Henry unpacks the explosive power behind Martin Luther’s legendary words: “Here I stand, I can do no other.”
Travel back to 16th century Europe to discover how one monk’s defiance against the Catholic Church helped set off the Protestant Reformation reshaping religion, politics, and the very way we think. From indulgences and printing presses to the Enlightenment and modern democracy, this episode explores how a single act of conviction helped launch a revolution of thought.
Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about the origins of big ideas, this episode dives deep into the context, impact, and legacy of one of history’s most quotable moments.
