Mine is from Catcher in the Rye :wink:

here it is:

I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetary, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact.

It just makes me laugh every time i read it...

-Ham :shock:
 
Hmm I have a few...Most from the Little Prince

" If you tell grown-ups, "I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof...," they won't be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, "I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs." Then they exclaim, "What a pretty house!" "

"Language is the source of misunderstandings."

"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

"All grown-ups were children first. (But few remember it)."

And one from U2
"In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy"
 
Long list..

"Life is wasted on the living."
-Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up."
-Anon.

"We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe."
-Johann von Goethe

"Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy."
-Nora Ephron

"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."
-Noam Chomsky

"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."
-Soren Kierkegaard

"To say fuck you to a establishment, in the youthful natural instructual way. I'm not a puppet."
-TAXMAN - THE ANTI-HERO

"Justice System. Is there justice in the system? Or is it just us in the system?"
-Corporate Avenger

"Love is a Dangerous Angel."
-Francesca Lia Block

And last but not least I had to throw this one in...

"Ever notice that people never say "It's only a game" when they're winning?"
-Ivern Ball

:twisted:
 
Favorite ever, from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
"For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was much more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars and so on--while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man--for precisely the same reasons."

Maybe more later. Right now it's time for class!

Oh my god! I love that movie! And it's 10x better because Sean Connery says it.^^

A few other good ones that I like:

You must try to forget all you have learned. You must begin to dream. From this time on you must shut your ears to the roaring of the voices.
~Winesburg, Ohio

I'm not going to die. I'm going to find out if I was ever alive. ~Cowboy Bebop

~Red vs. Blue
 
Just had to bring in the RvB...

"If he's a robot, and he's a she... That make's you.... A gay robot."

Church: Ok, now what did you learn today?
Caboose: That Sidewinder's really cold!

Tucker: Why do you keep shooting the jeep?
Caboose: Because it's locked on.

"Every man with eyes in his head can see the Sun rotate around the flat Earth, and the moon bigger than the stars." -Unknown.

*Every word ever spoken by and character of Family Guy.*
 
"I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there no cause for severity? I will be harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch - AND I WILL BE HEARD."

William Lloyd Garrison

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it..."
Voltaire
 
Some of my favorites:

He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death. -- Saki

A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any other invention in human history, with the possible exception of handguns and tequila. -- Mitch Radcliffe

It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent. -- Q, from "Deja Q," Star Trek: TNG

When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself. -- Peter O'Toole

Remember the old story about the mouse (or squirrel, or frog, whichever version you heard) who is out on this road at midnight in the wintertime, and he's freezing his mouse, squirrel or frog butt off, and along comes this big horse, and he sees the creature is turning blue and about to die (or in the case of the frog, to croak), and he drops a big fat,steaming, smelly road muffin on him. It may be foul in there, but at least he's warm, and his life is saved. Until a fox comes along, sees him all nice and toasty, his head sticking out, and fox takes a bite and yanks out the itty-bitty critter, and eats him. The moral being: not everybody who dumps you in the shit is an enemy; not everybody who pulls you out of the shit is a friend. -- Harlan Ellison intro to "A Lot of Saucers," Troublemakers anthology
