The last quiz, A QUIZ OF QUOTATIONS 6, was won by @CallMeMrWrong69 who impressively scored maximum points.
Here's the seventh edition of a quiz about quotations, whether spoken or written (or even wrongly attributed to). Per usual, there are 10 quotations with 12 points on offer - see below.
WHO SAID THIS? (one mark per quotation)
“It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!'”
“Last thing I remember I was running for the door. I had to find the passage back to the place I was before. 'Relax', said the night man, 'We are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like. But you can never leave!'"
"Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up."
"I think, therefore I am" (“Cogito, ergo sum.” )
"Don't knock masturbation, it's sex with someone you love!"
"You see, at first, when someone says, 'Let's impose tariffs on foreign imports', it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works - but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is: first, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets. And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So, soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying. Then the worst happens: markets shrink and collapse; businesses and industries shut down; and millions of people lose their jobs."
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO SAID THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
“[Name of woman], my dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.”
“I was [first name of man]’s closest friend for 10 years.”
Good luck in the quiz! And no cheating which means no Googling and no peeking!

@lindoboy100 Your day will come, you need to get those MAGA demons out of your mind!
@spunkycumfun
Frontal lobotomy required, that's what they've had, no?
I'm going to guess that: #1 is Mary Poppins, #6 is Woody Allen, and #7 is that Ronald Reagan speech that Ontario ran in a TV ad.
Three good 'guesses'.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!'” (Hunter S Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967, 1997)

You can check-out any time you like. But you can never leave!'" (Don Henley singing the last few lines of the Eagles' song, Hotel California; the 1977 song was written by Don Felder, Glenn Frey and Don Henley)

"You see, at first, when someone says, 'Let's impose tariffs on foreign imports', it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works - but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is: first, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets. And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So, soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying. Then the worst happens: markets shrink and collapse; businesses and industries shut down; and millions of people lose their jobs."
