What were the best quotes of 2011? For the past six years, Yale Law School associate librarian Fred Shapiro has created a list of his Top 10 Quotes of the year. The quotes featured on the list are the most famous, and representative of the culture at the time.  The #1 spot was held by a quote theoretically chanted by 99% of US Citizens. The top ten best quotes of 2010 are:

  1. "We are the 99 percent." -- Occupy Wall Street slogan
  2. "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there -- good for you! But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for." -- Elizabeth Warren, running as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, speaking on the campaign trail in August about the rich not doing it on their own.

  7. "I am on a drug. It's called 'Charlie Sheen.' It's not available because if you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body." -- Actor Charlie Sheen in a February interview.
