Anyone got any quotations to share? Can be anything, from a book, movie, video game, song, newspaper article, poem... whatever you found interesting enough to remember.

I'll start.

From memory: "The point is to admire the artificiality and distance, not to emphasize with any fellow human feelings."

Comment about a David Bowie song from either Nicholas Pegg or David Buckley. Perfectly describes my favourite musician.

"The world is changed because you are made from ivory and gold."
"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances."

Both Oscar Wilde.

"Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others."

By Groucho Marx.

"Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should get used to the idea." -Robert A. Heinlein

“If I’m not back in five minutes, just wait longer.” – Ace Ventura, Ace ventura, Pet Detective

“If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” – Albert Einstein

"Do you guys give up, or are ya thirsty for more?" (Macaulay Culkin: Home Alone movies)

"There's no problem so awful that you can't add some guilt to it and make it even worse."

- Bill Watterson

"For some reason altogether beyond our conception—and man may have been a mere accident, a by-product evolved in the process. It is as if the scum upon the surface of the ocean imagined that the ocean was created in order to produce and sustain it or a mouse in a cathedral thought that the building was its own proper ordained residence."

- Arthur Conan Doyle

"The pronouncement was an attempt at wit, and I sensed this wasn’t the first time she’d voiced it. I later learned that it was not like her—but what we say is not always like us."

- Jorge Luis Borges

"Later, with time, I learned that although all men are capable of good and evil, the worst among them are those who, when they commit evil, do so by shielding themselves in the authority of others, in their subordination, or in the excuse of following orders. And even worse are those who believe they are justified by their God. Because in the secret dungeons of Toledo, nearly at the cost of my life, I learned that there is nothing more despicable or more dangerous than the malevolent individual who goes to sleep every night with a clear conscience. That is true evil. Especially when paired with ignorance, superstition, stupidity, or power, all of which often travel together. And worst of all is the person who acts as exegete of The Word — whether it be from the Talmud, the Bible, the Koran, or any other book already written or yet to come. I am not fond of giving advice, no one can pound opinions into another's head, but here is a piece that costs you nothing: Never trust a man who reads only one book."

- Arturo Perez-Reverte

"We do not have any scud missiles and I don't know why they were launched into Kuwait"

Former Iraqi information minister

"Hey check me out everybody.... I'm dancin'... I'm dancin'!" - Claptrap

"Don't believe everything you read on the internet."

-Abraham Lincoln

"Nothing travels faster than light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws."

- Douglas Adams

"What is real, how do you define real, if you are talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste, and see then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

- Morpheus from the First Matrix

Most of my favorite quotations come from John Carpenter's 1982 film, "The Thing"

"Yeah, well fuck you too!" -McReady

"You gotta be fucking kidding..." -Palmer

"I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!" -Garry

- Terry Pratchett

That movie is awesome.

I've got a lot of favorite quotes. One that comes to mind is from the youtube series Freeman's Mind.

"I'M ON YOUR SIDE, YOU IDIOTS! HOW MANY OF YOU DO I HAVE TO KILL BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT???"

Alex: Just do it.
Julian: Alright Alex, now this is gonna...
Alex: Sting a little? I know.
Julian: No, actually it's gonna hurt like a motherfucker.

(that's why I was always afraid of school nurses)

hold on a sec, what's that from?

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
Abraham Lincoln
