Following A QUIZ OF QUOTATIONS 1, impressively won by @sexstarvedme1966, here's a second quiz about quotations, whether spoken or written (or even wrongly attributed to).
Having received some feedback, I've tried to make this quiz slightly easier and shorter. I know I've succeeded on the latter front as I'm only citing 10 quotations with 12 points on offer. Whether it's easier, that's up to you to decide, I suspect not! It's far easier setting than answering quiz questions.
WHO SAID THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO SAID THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
A coveted and exclusive top prize, probably a Milton Jones or a Tim Vine joke, will be awarded to the person who gives the most correct answers in the quickest time.
No cheating. Correct answers will be revealed in three days time on Monday, 8 September 2025.

I have no idea who said any of these quotes today my friend. As I woke up with a headache because I slept too much. I love George Carlin he was always so wise and said exactly what he thought and now most of it is coming true.
I hope your Friday is a fun start to your weekend..
I hope your headache soon disappears.
