[Pavlos]

"Clearly, Field Marshal Haig is about to make another gargantuan effort to move his drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin."

 

Capt. Edmund Blackadder

 

Hehe. And by the same token:

 

Melchett: All right. All right, all right, all right. I'll deal with this, Darling. Delicate touch needed, I fancy.

 

[Melchett takes George over to the fireplace.]

 

Melchett: Now, George. Do you remember when I came down to visit you when you were a nipper for your sixth birthday? You used to have a lovely little rabbit. Beautiful little thing. Do you remember?

 

George: Flossy.

 

Melchett: That's right. Flossy. Do you remember what happened to Flossy?

 

George: You shot him.

 

Melchett: That's right. It was the kindest thing to do after he'd been run over by that car.

 

George: By your car, Sir.

 

Melchett: Yes, by my car. But that too was an act of mercy when you would remember that that dog had been set on him.

 

George: Your dog, Sir.

 

Melchett: Yes, yes, my dog. But what I'm trying to say, George, is that the state young Flossy was in after we'd scraped him off my front tyre is very much the state that young Blackadder will be in now. If not very nearly dead, then very actually dead.

 

And another of my favourites:

Anything that happens, happens.

 

Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.

 

Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.

 

It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though

[The Doctor]

Yay. A thread I can actually use my Gandhi quotes in.

 

"It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err."

 

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

 

"If we were to drive out the English with the weapons with which they enslaved us, our slavery would still be with us even when they have gone."

 

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall - think of it, always."

 

"It is my firm opinion that Europe does not represent the spirit of God or Christianity but the spirit of Satan. And Satan’s successes are the greatest when he appears with the name of God on his lips."

 

"I think it would be a good idea!" BURN!

 

Now for some others... this one is from Star Trek: Voyager. It's pretty powerful, if you know the context it's in, and you know the character who said it.

 

"I think it's safe to say that nobody has been as... obssessed... with getting home, as I have. But... when I think of everything we've been through together... I can't help but think: maybe it's not the destination that matters. Maybe it's the journey. And if that journey takes a little longer, so we can do something we all believe in, then I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be, or any people I'd rather be with."

[Jae Onasi]

"Suck the marrow out of life."--John Keating (played by Robin Williams) in Dead Poets Society

 

A scene in Tootsie:

Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) has got a job on a soap opera by impersonating a woman, Dorothy Michaels. He's in the apartment he shares with his roommate, Jeff (Bill Murray). Michael already has his 'woman' makeup on, is in nylons, and is fussing with 'Dorothy's' wig, trying to get the feminine look just right.

Michael: Do you know what my problem is?

Jeff (deadpan): Cramps?

[Darth InSidious]

"One who is serious all day will never have a good time, while one who is frivolous all day will never establish a household. " - The instruction of Ptahhotep

 

"Truth is great and its effectiveness endures."

 

"Be cheerful while you are alive."

Some quotes from the crazy cartoons of Greasymoose

http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/greasymoose.html

 

Putty: "I've never felt so sick in my life..."

Gooseman: "What about that unfortunate incident last month with the rubber band and the rancid crab juice?"

Putty: "You said we would never speak of that again!"

 

Priceless

[Phantom Joker]

"If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron."

 

Lee Trevino (Who incidentially, has been hit by lightning. Apparently God can hit a 1-iron...)

[Cygnus Q'ol]

"If we were suppose to talk twice as much as we listen, then we would have been born with two mouths and only one ear."

 

~Mark Twain~

[igyman]

''I just want you to know that when we talk about war, we're actually talking about peace.''

 

''I have my opinions, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them.''

 

-George Bush

 

These are just precious. Whenever I see them I laugh myself to death.

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious."

 

-Brendan Gill

[mimartin]

"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."

 

"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."

 

"It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war."

 

John F. Kennedy

[Raven_Onasi]

Here is another one of my favorites:

 

"Hiding in the homes of civilians. Using families as shields. Thinking we would not use appropriate force on their bases inside major cities. They underestimated our resolve and what measures are acceptable in war. Those who cannot defend themselves should not be around those who can in battle. If annihilating a city is the kind of power it takes to overwhelm a Republic shield device, then that's what we did. Necessary force to destroy all opposition." ~Canderous Ordo

 

I always get goose bumps whenever I hear that line!!!

[Ghost Down]

"Tattoos are cool." "Yeah, I wish I was born with one." "You're not born with tattoos, dumbass. You get them when you join the navy." - Beavis & Butthead

Stargate:

Jack (to General Hammond, referring to Carter): "I only understand 1% of what she says half the time."

 

Officer: "Not much faith in plan ´A´ sir?"

O´Neill: "Since when does plan ´A´ ever work?"

 

Jack talking to Teal´c: "Lose It. It Means, Go Crazy....Nuts....Insane....Bonzo....No Longer In Possesion Of One´s Faculties, Three Fries Short Of A Happy Meal. WACKO!?!"

 

O´Neill to Kawalsky: "If you don´t make it - can I have your stereo?"

 

Jaffa soldier: "Drop your weapons!"

O´Neill: "Oh, if i had a nickel..."

 

O´Neill (to General Hammond): "Request permission to beat the crap out of this man!!!"

 

Jack O´Neill: "I´d like to apologize in advance for anything that I may say or do that could be construed as offensive as I slowly go NUTS."

 

Carter (to Jack): "Just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn´t mean I can´t handle anything you can."

 

Sam: "Maybourne, you are an idiot everyday of the week, why can´t you take just one day off?!"

 

Teal´c handles a toy gun, when searching Martins house:

"It would appear this weapon is ineffective."

 

Daniel (gestures towards table covered in boxes and boxes of files): "So a bit of light reading."

Weir: "Ah. I´ve been awake all weekend. The reality of this is.... it´s an adrenaline rush."

Daniel: "Hey, atleast I know you have a beating heart."

 

Daniel: "Yeah, you´d think a race advanced enough to fly around in spaceships would be smart enough to have seat belts."

 

Someone: "I don´t think it´s a good idea to have an archeoligist on the front lines."

Daniel pulls out his knife.

Daniel: "uh, what end do the bullets go in?"

 

Star Trek:

Janeway: "There is coffee in this nebula!"

Scotty: Okay, Captain, I'll do it in 2.
