Quotations from 2005

[Baker, John]

        Does "culture of life" count?  The religious right's characterization of a "culture of life" has taken on new prominence in the wake of the Schiavo case and looks likely to last for at least a few years.  However, the phrase predates 2005.  I don't know when or by whom it was first used.

But I don't know if any of the above are ones for the ages.  I would still
welcome other recommendations of already-famous quotations from 2005.  Has
anything from the Terry Schiavo controversy become famous?
