I voted for 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 18.
Two clarifications:
Regarding 12: I definitely like all genres of music, but I'm pretty certain that my parents did not enjoy all genres. Dad was much more into classical music, and likely country, but he didn't seem to care much for rock-n-roll - especially not hard rock (like KISS, AC/DC, etc.). Mom probably had the same tastes as dad.
I almost voted for 16, but decided not to, because of the word "career" in the quote. Endorsing that quote, with "career," makes it sound as if I also support term limits, which I don't.

Bonus: no, I don't have a clue who said any of them.

I'd like to thank you for giving me the idea of adding numbers to the poll options themselves.
