Quotes of the year

The Las Vegas Review Journal compiled its annual selection of “Best Quotes of 2004” as a description of what goes on and what is changing in the US culture and society.

Madonna is featured in the list with a quote from her article on People published on April, 12, 2004, when she described the spiritual awakening she began to experience seven years ago.

“Suddenly I was concerned about the bigger picture. Why am I me? Why am I here? Why did my soul choose this body? Why am I a role model? Is this fame the be-all and end-all? What’s the point of all this? Is it downhill from here? It can’t all be a happy accident. I wanted to know why it was happening to me.”
