Some clues to the year-end Quotes of the Week quiz can be found in this photoshopped image.
Welcome to PhillyVoice’s weekly quiz about quotes that appeared in our stories.
This is a special week, though, as the following quotes come from PhillyVoice’s most-read stories of 2015 as opposed to just the past seven days.
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.
Side note: One of the possible answers is responsible for four of the quotes; another, for two.
Your possible answers are:
Amy Anderson, breastfeeding consultant; Anonymous 4chan posting; Comedy Central; Natalie Cribari, heroin-overdose victim; Samir Hill, basketball player from West Philly; Larry Hogan, Governor of Maryland; Jimmy Kempski, PhillyVoice Eagles writer; Elizabeth Licorish, PhillyVoice contributor; Darcia Narvaez, University of Notre Dame psychology professor; Lisa Randall, Harvard University physicist; Amy Wright Glenn, PhillyVoice contributor.
