A certain speech by the protagonist in Planescape: Torment. Details below, but spoilered just in case.

Spoiler

The game's central question, asked by a number of people, is "what can change the nature of a man?" The main character, an immortal, asks his lost mortality (which is now sentient and is in no hurry to merge with him) this, to which it replies that the question is pointless. He insists, and gets the answer "Then this is my answer and you are the proof: NOTHING can change the nature of a man." Then comes the counter.

"If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I?ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me."

A couple references to the game itself are lost on anyone who hasn't played it, I know. Still, of all the excellent lines in the game, that speech stuck with me.

Here's a few of my favourites (note: many of these are paraphrased):

Sit down in your chair and drink your God-Damn TEA!
Cid Highwind, FFVII

You couldn't take an anthill without suffering casualties!

Kirby, Super Smash Bros. Melee

This gun is he-avy!
Soviet Flak Trooper, Red Alert 2

Prinny, DOOD!

And of course almost every line in this video:

I like all of Freeman's lines.

Killing in total silence is badass, and having a conversation without talking takes skill.


Otherwise: pika-pika-chu!

Raziel: "And I am not your enemy, not your destroyer, I am as before, your right hand, your sword!"

Raziel in the final chapter of Legacy of Kain. Legacy of Kain Defiance, against the final boss.

This moment was so epic I grew several yards just from the goosebumps. My god there will never be made a series like LoK again ;(

"If God had wanted you to live, he would not have created MEEE!"
- someone from Team Fortress 2.

I Believe that was the soldier

My favorite are
"That's the second biggest monkey head I've ever seen!"
Guybrush Threepwood
and
"You can't hide from the Grim Reaper. Especially when he's got a gun"
Manny Calavera

Dawn of War: Pretty much everything in this game, a favourite would have to be "Identify the enemy you wish to annihilate." because it's just dripping with Eldar arrogance.

HL2: "Time, Doctor Freeman? Is it really that time again?"

Lastly: Portal. During your visit to GLaDOS she tells you

"There was even going to be a party for you. A big party, that all of your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend the Companion Cube. Of course, he couldn't come, because you murdered him. All your other friends couldn't come either, because you don't have any other friends, because of how unlikable you are.

It says so right here in your personnel file; 'Unlikable. Liked by no one. A bitter unlikable loner whose passing shall not be mourned.' SHALL NOT BE MOURNED. That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official. It also says you were adopted. So that's funny too."

"WATCH OUT FOR THE HEAD HUMPERS!!"

"That's gonna hurt come winter" - Duke Nukem (Duke Nukem: Zero Hour)
--Because my father always repeated the line when I died in the multi-player.

"Momentum; A function of mass and velocity; is conserved between portals. In layman's terms: Speedy-thing goes in, Speedy-thing comes out." - GLaDOS (Portal)
--Because of the way GLaDOS says 'Speedy-thing'. It amuses me.
