Wow. That's a veritable arsenal. That last one especially strikes me as the ultimate anti-cynic nuke.Luke3184 said:

Which reminds me of another of my favourite quotes:

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane, he had to fly them. If he flew them, he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to, he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
I know, everyone knows it, but I just had to post it. It is one of my favorite quotes of all time:
Mad props from one Radiohead fan to another. My favorite quote comes from song lyrics:OhJohnNo said:
"My friends and my loved ones
Believe there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain
When it comes my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind"
-"Satisfied Mind", as performed by Jeff Buckley.
I like where your mind goes. Allow me to throw in some more Supernatural!saoirse13 said:
"I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from Perdition." - Castiel
"Here we were, thinking we were teaching you, and all this time you were teaching us... about heart, about dedication, and? about how gay love can pierce through the veil of death and save the day." - Ghostfacer Ed Zeddmore
And of course...
"Hey assbutt!" - Castiel
In music, my favorite lyric is probably...
"I've been trying to justify you. In the end, I will just defy you." - As I Am, Dream Theater.
Or, you know, anything John Darnielle has written for The Mountain Goats.
The irony being that I'm a massively cynical bastard, however I love it simply for how well written it is and the idealism within it. In fact the character that says it as completely fantastic considering the bit part she plays in the actual story. American Gods, read it.OhJohnNo said:
"He'll flip ya. He'll flip ya for real."
"You'll leave this world the way you entered it! Through your mothers v***na."
"His name was f*ck you: He was Asian."
"People love me... Just ask your wife."
"You'll leave this world the way you entered it! Through your mothers v***na."
"His name was f*ck you: He was Asian."
"People love me... Just ask your wife."
"I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality. And this is like my little window to the world... and every minute's a different show. I may not understand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it. But I'll tell you what I've accepted: just sort of glide along. You want to keep things on an even keel, this is what I'm saying. You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river. The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes. The ride does not require explanation - just occupance. That's where you guys come in. It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the 8 pack, you may get the 16 pack but it's all in what you do with the crayons - the colors - that you're given. Don't worry about coloring within the lines or coloring outside the lines - I say color outside the lines, you know what I mean? Color all over the page; don't box me in! We're in motion to the ocean. We are not land locked, I'll tell you that."
I love all of these, but I only know the second one, which came from Guitarmasterx7's machinima, Master Chief: War. That has to be one the best machinimas I've ever seen in my life.ironically_awesome said:
And may I ask where the others came from, so I can experience them in their original glory?

Another good quote is; "I know you're a lemon Charlie" from Charlie by Lemstep.
I? I AM A MONUMENT TO ALL YOUR SINS.
This is a great Halo quote that was good enough to become a halo reach achievement.
My favourite Halo2 quote is:- Cortana: The message just repeats: Regret, Regret, Regret.
Commander Miranda Keyes: Catchy. Any idea what it means?
Sergeant Johnson: "Dear humanity. We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"
Marines: OO-RAH!

If I were a proper brother-captain, I would know the prayer we are supposed to say. But I think you all know what we have to do. We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves. No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The Chapter might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy - the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so bad that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial - carved into the heart of Chaos. We cannot lose, Grey Knights. We have already won."
~Acting-Brother-captain Alaric of the Grey Knights
?Sunday is a fixed star," he said.
"You shall see him a falling star," said Syme, and put on his hat.
The decision of his gesture drew the Professor vaguely to his feet.
"Have you any idea," he asked, with a sort of benevolent bewilderment, "exactly where you are going?"
"Yes," replied Syme shortly, "I am going to prevent this bomb being thrown in Paris."
"Have you any conception how?" inquired the other.
"No," said Syme with equal decision.?
~G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday
"I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. "
~Albert Camus, The Myth of Sysiphus
"What lighting did you want in this bit?"
After a thoughtful pause Sara said "It should look like strawberries and cupcakes."
"Strawberries and cupcakes? So. . ." the stage hand stared at his equipment as though they might offer some translation.
"Red with a white fill?" he asked.
Sara wrinkled her brow and considered his answer and finally said "Show me."
The stage hand quickly produced the light he described and Sara's eyes opened with the sort of joy generally only known by children.
"Perfect!" she shouted.
-Sara, Overhead conversation with some artistic license.
The first stands as a monument to face the impossible without flinching. The second reminds me that one should never let a lack of a perfect plan prevent action. The third is a reminder that the struggle itself is often the important bit. The last is because it so neatly encapsulates the personality of my girlfriend.
