> Although it's only September, I am sending out a preliminary appeal for

> suggestions of candidates for my annual list of the 10 most notable quotations

> of the year, disseminated by the Associated Press.  The criteria are

> quotations that are famous, or important, or particularly revealing of the

> spirit of our times.  Invariably many of the quotes are political in nature,

> but I do very much want some nonpolitical quotes from fields such as popular

> culture, sports, business, science, etc.  I also would like to have some foolish

> quotes from Democratic politicians to give the list some balance.

> Note that quotations from December 2021 may be eligible.  Internet memes can

> be considered if they are very popular.
