Answers to this week's PhillyVoice Quotes Quiz can be found in this photoshopped image.
Welcome to PhillyVoice’s weekly quiz about quotes that appeared in our stories during the past week.
The following quotes come from a wide array of topics, so if you’re looking to get a leg up on the competition (in a contest for which the prize is personal pride), keep reading stories from the worlds of news, entertainment and sports.
The answers are tucked at the bottom of each post (with the context available via hyperlink). We will know – and tell everybody – if you scrolled down and illicitly claimed you went 15 for 15. Real talk. (Oh yeah, sorry for the lack of a quiz last Friday. I was out of town.)
Your possible answers are:
Ryan Arcidiacono, Villanova University basketball player; J.P. Crawford, Philadelphia Phillies top prospect; CVN65, PhillyVoice commenter; Claude Giroux, captain, Philadelphia Flyers; Questlove, drummer, The Roots; Tom Grimes, former East Falls resident; Bobby Henon, Philadelphia city councilman; “Jim,” Change.org petitioner for RNC open carry; Heather LaMarre, assistant professor of strategic and political communications, Temple University; Thomas J. Nestel, chief, SEPTA police; Nancy Northup, president and CEO, Center for Reproductive Rights; Len Oliver, former Temple University soccer All-American; Fred Sembach, chief of staff, state Rep. Mike Folmer; Joe Sestak, U.S. Senate candidate; Donald Trump, Republican presidential candidate.
Quotes:
1. “It’s satire.”
2. "It was going to have to be a kind of greasy goal.”

9. “I would love to get help for them before they become chalk outlines on some Philadelphia street."
10. "She's 47. It might be 40-50 years before they get to her. I could pass tomorrow."
11. “We're not just giving a kid a toy at Christmas without batteries."
12. “I wanted to give him some advice beforehand just so he knows what the deal is when he gets here.”
13. “#goodluckwiththat”
14. "The whole experience taught me that I can overcome anything because it tested me more than I ever have been in my life."
