Modern Quotations 2000 - 2010

You're never lonely if you can play the guitar.

Nile Rodgers | Musician


This unique and entertaining quotation collection contains nearly eight hundred quotations uttered during the first decade of the 21st century, vetted and properly cited from their (most often) original published sources. Speakers include people from a vast array of fields and backgrounds, including politicians, terrorists, tyrants, popes, novelists, bloggers, rappers, executives, visionaries, actors, athletes, and Nobel laureates, to name a few.


Topics too, touch on the full spectrum of modern life—pop culture, global conflict, modern technology, social networks, politics, sports, disasters, profound life commentary, and of course those incendiary media sound bites that flash and fade from the headlines.


When you look back on the past decade, what was your favorite quote? Take a look and see if it made the cut.


In Iran, we don't have homosexuals, like in your country.
