Some of the people involved in this week's PhillyVoice Quotes of the Week quiz are contained in this image.
Welcome to PhillyVoice’s third weekly quiz about quotes that appeared in our stories during the past week. Sure, we had a Black Friday respite from quizzin’, but fun and educational times still lie ahead!
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 11 for 11. Real talk.
And away we go!
Your possible answers are:
Amy Anderson, breast-milk donor; Diane Barnes, sister of crime victim; Tyler Dautrich, co-founder, Greenhouse Ventures; Richard J. Fuschino, attorney; Kathleen Kane, Pennsylvania attorney general; Jimmy Kempski, PhillyVoice Eagles writer; Ed “Santa Claus” Long; Laura Pinto, digital technology professor, University of Ontario Institute of Technology; Karen Schaefer, cancer survivor; Stoya, writer and adult-film actress; T.

7. “I just can’t nod and smile when people bring him up anymore.”
8. “Some may even think that peace which comes from death may be better than suffering like he was. I am here to tell you that my brother truly loved life.”
