    Fans may buy your books, listen to your albums, or watch your movies. They may display posters of your face, wear T-shirts with your image, or gossip about your outrageous behavior. But the only way to truly cement your standing with the people is to get them to quote you.

    Welcome to the Buzz Quotability List, where only the wisest or the fastest talking rise to the top. Being a Search-based survey, this round-up of orators spans time, geography, profession, and IQ score (#22, case in point).

    So, without further ado, we present this week's roster of the most popular individuals for "quotes" online...

    A couple of notes:

    –What would Jesus say? While searches for "jesus quotes" flow in consistently, they failed to boost the Prince of Peace into our top 30. However, both "bible quotes" and "christian quotes" place pretty high, and probably account for Jesus not only falling lower on the list, but losing out to "mandy moore quotes" as well. Ouch!

    Shakespeare is the heaviest hitter of all. He not only pounds the searches out of the park, but also scores big with "romeo and juliet quotes," "hamlet quotes," and "famous shakespeare love quotes." Aw.
