BLOCKHEAD. Perhaps someone got it before me, but here's another person who knows the reference.TriGGeR_HaPPy said:
Let's see, what can I offer:
"I got...ten!"
"We all got ten, moron, there's hundreds of 'em!"
--Griggs and Sheckley, Half-Life 2: Episode 2
"How do I get outta this chickenshit outfit?"
--The Terran Marines, Starcraft
"Gotcha, yeh..spastic little gremlin!"
(Not exactly little-known, but little-heard--kudos to the one who guesses it)
"I feel a slight..tingling in my fingers. I think it's affecting me."
--Legolas, The Return of the King (film)
"It's important to keep a level head on the battlefield, provided that your head isn't leveled for you by a lasbolt."
--Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM (although I think I misquoted slightly, the original was slightly funnier)
And the winner is:
"I used to drive that stretch of road every day. There was absolutely nothing to do, 'cept dodge deer, drunk drivers, signposts, and trees that'd jump out into the middle of the road atcha."
--JoJo Van Somethingorother, a man at a party I went to once who looked like a bizarre mix of a metalhead, a cowboy and a biker. Quite an interesting character.
"Ah-ha, the conservative heavy-sandwich portfolio wins again! *OM NOM NOM* ... AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING!! BAAW BAAAW!!!"
Or...

- Welcome to my world! ... BAAWW BAAAWW!!!"
"- Fry, it's been years since my med school. Disemboweling in your species - fatal or non-fatal?
- Fatal...
- A LOT OF MONEY ON MYSELF!"
"You win again, Gravity!!!"
Everything from the same show.

'Time line? time is not made of lines. It is made of circles. That is why clocks are round.'

Albert einstein
"If you copy from one author, it's plagiarism. If you copy from two, it's research."
Wilson Mizner.
'Purple deathclaw, three o'clock!'
New Reno resident, Fallout 2.
The bottom one is probably the most obscure.

-b: "now seagoon, we cant just leave him tied up like this. he might be attacked by soaking wet elephants."
-s: "the nearest elephants are across the atlantic."

"Oh goodie! We're all going to Hell!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Hobos and Tramps, Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bowlegged ants. I come before you, to stand before you, to tell you a story I know nothing about. One bright morning in the middle of the night two dead fellows stood up to fight. They stood back to back, facing each other, drew their swords and shot each other. If you don't believe my lie, it's true, ask the blind lady on the corner, she saw it too." Guess who?
"Buddha has a ghostpenis living in your cereal!"

I choose to quote from people I know in real life, because that qualifies them extremely obscure. I opted for the ones that can make some vague sense out of context.
"No, because I'd do some genetic engineering to make dogs with waxing strips for tongues, then I'd unleash the hounds!"
"In Y7, she wrote about rape, proper gang rape with like 6 or 9 people, do you know what I wrote about? Some magical pony and shit!"
"You can mend anything with love! But you need the duct tape too. Equally as much. Possibly even more so. Actually, definitely more so. It's basically only the duct tape that will make a difference."
"That guy so looks like Niko Bellic!"
"Someone's gonna call him and ask him to go fucking bowling in a minute."
"What the fuck is Dom doing in Saw II?"
"Prolly looking for his wife."

Anything I say is probably fairly obscure since I don't ever seem to get media coverage.
If we go beyond that, thanks to an incredibly low interest in fencing in the US, I'd say that any statement about the sport would be fairly obscure.
"In life and on the fencing piste you are ultimate alone. Alone with your inability to live up to your own expectations. Alone with the doubts you have come to believe reflect unique, unalterable limitation. That's a lot of distractions when demanding the flawless delivery and instantaneous execution of your master plan of the moment. Fencing helps you to shed those confusions and transorm terrors into trumphs"
- Anthony De Longis
Forward to "The Art and Science of Fencing" (Nick Evangelesta)
Also:
"The entire secruet of arms consists of only two things: to give, and not to receive."
From Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (1671)

It was said by one of Australian's most famous men: Ned Kelly. It was the last words he gave before they executed him in Melbourne. There still is a massive debate on in this country wither or not he was just a murderous thief or if it was police corruption and brutality that led him to such a life. I lean on the corruption side myself, as in those early days stories of brutality and falsified testimony where common place.Seanchaidh said:
