[Ads-l] Preliminary Plea for Notable Quotations of the Year

[Shapiro, Fred]

This is 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 particularly welcome suggestions of foolish quotes from Democratic politicians, in order to provide some balance.

Note that quotations from December 2024 may be eligible.  Internet memes can be considered if they are very popular.
