The fierce debate over health care hasn't led to a new law yet, but it's produced some of this year's top quotes compiled by a Yale librarian.

Fred Shapiro is releasing his fourth annual list of The Yale Book of Quotations. His top quote: "Keep your government hands off my Medicare," by a speaker at a town hall meeting in Simpsonville, S.C., in July on the government-created Medicare program.

Shapiro says he picks quotes that are famous, important or revealing of the spirit of the times. The quotes are not necessarily the most eloquent or admirable.

The health care debate sparked two other quotes that made the list: The shout of "You lie!" by Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., during President Barack Obama's September speech on health care and Sarah Palin's "death panel" allegation.
