2014：那些離世的名人 那些傳世的語錄 （一）

Here we are at the end of another calendar year -- 2014. When December rolls around, we tend to reflect on who we've lost in our own personal lives as well as those bigger-than-life mortals we affectionately call: celebrities.

歲末降至，追憶2014，我們失去了太多名人。

In tribute, we thought we would pick out a quote from each one that might elicit a laugh, a tear, a fond memory and/or a reason to never forget why their lives and legacies touched our hearts.

為緬懷舊人，我們挑選了這些離世名人的語錄，或歡樂，或感動，或難忘，總有一種原因讓我們難忘他們觸動人心的生命和遺產(chǎn)。
