For each date, a diverse dozen speakers were chosen, based on: prominence; quality of the quotation; uniqueness of the speaker (gender, time period, nationality, vocation); and conflicting social, political, religious or philosophical background. (\"The quotations ... reflect and encompass the contradictions, complexities, wisdom, humor, pleasure, and prejudices of human life\"--\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Books Annual\u003c\/i\u003e.)
