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 12 for 12. Real talk.

Your possible answers are:

Melissa Alam, The Hive; David Anderson, Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletics Association; Joe Biden, vice president; Jerry Colangelo, chairman of basketball operations, Sixers; William L. Fleisher, founder, Vidocq Society; Alisha Grant, Wister Elementary School parent; Patrick Lobo, Penn for Trump; Ryan Manion Borek, State of the Union attendee; Mitesh Patel, Penn's Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics; Brian A. Primack, M.D., Ph.D.; Donald Trump, presidential candidate; John Wisniewski, St. Laurentius Church preservation supporter.
