My last quiz, A QUIZ OF QUOTATIONS 22, was won by @sexstarvedme1966, yet again! It was a very hard quiz; I've made this quiz easier, or at least I think I have!
Here's the next 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. (If you cannot play but still want to know the answers to the quiz, please leave a comment below.)
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
"I'm begging of you please don't take my man … Please don't take him just because you can."
"Peace for our time."
"Getting old is not for sissies."
"Stupid is as stupid does."
"… there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know."
"I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it."
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge'."
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
"I mean no disrespect, but you’re a cunt. You’re a cunt now and you’ve always been a cunt. And the only thing that’s going to change is that you’re going to be an even bigger cunt. Maybe have some more cunt kids."
"It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun."
Good luck in the quiz! And no cheating which means no Googling and no peeking below!
A very coveted top prize, a humorous quip, will be awarded to the person who gives the most correct answers but before all the correct answers are revealed in a few days time on Monday, 31 August 2026.
PS. Please see the first comment below, for details of previous quizes in this series.

WHO SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
"I'm begging of you please don't take my man … Please don't take him just because you can." (Dolly Parton, Jolene, 1973)
"Peace for our time." (Neville Chamberlain, the then British Prime Minister, after signing the Munich Agreement with Adolf Hitler and waving an additional peace paper outside Downing Street, London, 30 September 1938; less than one year later Germany invaded Poland prompting the start of the Second World War)
"Getting old is not for sissies." (Bette Davis)
"Stupid is as stupid does." (Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks, citing his mama's wisdom in the 1994 film of the same name; Eric Roth and Robert Zemeckis wrote the film's screenplay, and Winston Groom wrote the book on which the film is based)
"… there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know." (Donald Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defense (now War!), 12 February 2002; though probably not intended, I think this is one profound philosophical statement and his logic is impeccable)
"I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it." (Alfred Hitchcock)
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge'."

"It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun." (US President Donald Trump on the White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, in an interview with Newsmax, August 2025)

Was 9 this pair...?
I hope Gavin Newsom saw the film!
9 is a belter of a film! I'll not give it away
I've not seen the film.
@spunkycumfun BG to RF, IB
@spunkycumfun worth a watch as is The Guard
@stonnerking I suspect you'll be the only one to get #9 correct. I'll look out for both films to watch.
@spunkycumfun nah, somebody else must know that one??? Enjoy if you get to watch them.
@spunkycumfun could also have been Gavin..
@stonnerking I'd stick with your first answer.

That's all I go this week...
That's two good one you've got.
@spunkycumfun Well, that's interesting. I specifically wrote 4 for the Forrest Gump one. The site changed it to 2. Then when I went back to edit it, it shows 4 again, and that changes back to 2. Just another site glitch... 😂
@CleavageFan4U The site's never good at numbers. I've got your answer down as for #4.

Who said that?
@spunkycumfun Donald J Trump in 2008

Ah! Yes! Now that the "version 3.0" of the family has come to spend a few days with my husband and me, understanding the concept and the delight of being "childless" but better "childfree" LOL
Being childfree is quite an advantage sometimes.
