If there’s anyone out there that has never said something they wish they could take back, please pick up that stone and throw it at my head so hard that it kills me.

Did you have a favorite quote of 2013? Quotations were once reserved for scholars or dusty historical tomes or popular political or religious tracts. With the speed of digital virality, quotes can spread like proverbial wild fire - and they do. Now, there's even a growing art form of apologies from celebrities and politicians, when their ill-considered or overheard quote begins to spread online.
Modern Quotations 2013 - Wisdom & Wordplay, Excerpts & Extracts From the Calendar Year 2013 strives to capture the most fascinating quotes of last year - obscure quotes as well as already famous quotes. Quotes from politicians, writers, athletes, musicians, flashes in the pan, artists, and so many more, are all included here.
Whether a memorable quote has gone viral or is on a blog or buried deep inside a 2013 interview, Ross Bonander has once again worked hard to compile a comprehensive collection of the 2013's most memorable quotations.
He despised phonies, his 1969 Volvo (which he also loved), know-it-all Yankees, Southerners who used the words “veran- da” and “porte cochere” to put on airs, eating grape leaves, Law and Order (all franchises), cats, and Martha Stewart. In reverse order. He particularly hated Day Light Saving Time, which he referred to as The Devil’s Time. It is not lost on his family that he died the very day that he would have had to spring his clock forward. This can only be viewed as his final protest.
