		</div><p>A plea from Dr Anthony Fauci for people to “wear a mask” to slow the spread of the coronavirus tops a Yale Law School librarian’s list of the most notable quotes of 2020.</p>
<p>The list assembled by Fred Shapiro, an associate director at the library, is an annual update to The Yale Book of Quotations, which was first published in 2006.</p>
<p>Also on the list is “I can’t breathe”, the plea African American man George Floyd made repeatedly to police officers holding him down on a Minneapolis street corner, before his death which sparked worldwide Black Lives Matter protests.</p>
<p>Several quotes from the US presidential campaign appear, including Joe Biden telling a student: “You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier.”</p>
<p>Mr Shapiro said he chose quotes not necessarily because they were admirable or eloquent, but because they were famous or particularly revealing of the spirit of the times.</p>
<p>The list, in order, is:</p>
<p>– “Wear a mask” — Dr Anthony Fauci, CNN interview, May 21.</p>
<p>– “I can’t breathe” — George Floyd, plea to police officer, Minneapolis, May 25.</p>
<p>– “One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear” — President Donald Trump, referring to the coronavirus in remarks at a reception at the White House, February 27.</p>
<p>– “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?” — Mr Trump, in remarks at a White House Coronavirus Task Force news briefing, April 23.</p>
<p>– “I will never lie to you. You have my word on that” — White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, at her first press briefing, May 1.</p>
<p>– “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed” — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, statement dictated to granddaughter Clara Spera, September.</p>
<p>– “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black” — Joe Biden, in a radio interview, May 22.</p>
<p>– “The science should not stand in the way of this” — Ms McEnany, referring to school reopenings in a news briefing, July 16.</p>
<p>– “You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier” — Mr Biden, in a remark to student at campaign event, Hampton, New Hampshire, February 9.</p>
<p>– “We are all Lakers today” — Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers, in a remark to reporters after the death of Kobe Bryant, January 26.</p>
