> I’m starting to think about my annual list, run by the Associated Press, of the top 10 most notable quotations of the year. By “notable” I mean “important” or “famous” or “particularly revealing of the spirit of our times” rather than necessarily being eloquent or admirable. Last year's winners were a tie between Tony Hayward‘s “I’d like my life back” and Christine O'Donnell's "I'm not a witch."
