The Quote Game

[Maud Fitch]

Newt Gingrich, amiright?
And this one's by _____ _____:
"I gave up shame a long time ago."

And the answer is - John Lithgow. I loved him in "Third Rock From The Sun" particularly the episode where he locked himself in his room and watched life via his computer. Almost too true to be funny.....

Here's another one. Who said: "We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse".

Maud ... that was Ralph Waldo Emerson - very apt for the Xmas season

Now try

'I don't like to share my personal life, it wouldn't be personal if I shared it'.

I think that quote was made by George Clooney.

How about this Christmas classic.....

Now let's see if you can figure this one out:

"I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth."

Hey Fran, that is a line by the classic Baldric from Blackadder.

How about....

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: TO TOLERATE FOOLS MORE GLADLY, PROVIDED THIS DOES NOT ENCOURAGE THEM TO TAKE UP MORE OF MY TIME.

Now a difficult one ...

Hey there Fran, I do believe that your quote was made by Oliver Reed.

How about....

BE LIKE A DUCK. CALM ON THE SURFACE, BUT ALWAYS PADDLING LIKE THE DICKENS UNDERNEATH.

[Fran]

I know that one ... it was Michael Caine. Actually one day my boss remarked that we'd didn't appear to be busy & I responded with that quote only I think I said swan instead of duct. We nearly had to pick him the boss off the floor ... not often that I get my timing that good!

Now here we go ...

'It's never been confirmed that Elizabeth I was a virgin. It's like the Virgin Mary - it's about branding, a logo. To use a modern term, Elizabeth was actually a bit of a slut'.
And it was not Edmund Blackadder!

[Gannon]

That is an awesome quote Fran. Made by the brilliant Helen Mirren. She is such a an amazing actress, I rate her right up there with good ol Meryl Streep.

How about....

A PERSON IS A FOOL TO BECOME A WRITER. HIS ONLY COMPENSATION IS ABSOLUTE FREEDOM.

[RuqeeD]
