"I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man. He never dies."
Also, that quote is from Balthier (FFXII), right?
Correct.

Two more:

You woke me from a long sleep. Now, I have no more use for you. I'll take over your army and rule the world.

What, you're going to fight against me? You damn fool.
BURN TO THE BURN TO THE BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN! BURN! AUUUUUGH! BU-BURN TO THE WOOO! BURN TO THE AUUUUGH! BURN THE GROUND! BURN TO THE GROUND! BURN AUUUUUGH! BURN TO THE BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!

I forget the name of the boss, but that's Megaman X7.

Here are my quotes (though a few are from memory):

Quote #1: "Shame on you, you greedy guts! Thought you could outwit an onion?"
Quote #2: "Mmmmm, Buzz Cola"
Quote #3: "Thief, eh? Well, it's never too late to change your ways."

Ah hell, let's see if I can toss a few in here. Good luck figuring them out!

Quote 1: You cannot unring a bell.

Quote 2: DOOM! Doom! Da-doom doom doom! Doom doom!

Quote 3(Two Parts):
"I am getting real tired of dying all the time."
"Perhaps we should stop DYING then."

Simpsons: Hit & Run :) I loved that game!

"Tim! They've got your wife!"
"But I'm not married!"
"You are now! To America!"
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City? I think I remember that from one of the radio adverts.

No-one answered my previous one I don't think, so a new one I guess?

"Right into next week!"
"I've traveled back in time from next week. Please stop throwing monsters at us."

"What can change the nature of a man?"
There was a less obvious Planescape:Torment quote on page 1. Early in the game, but not one of the most repeated lines from the game.

Still surprised no one answered mine from page 2, I didn't think they were terribly hard:

And there's the greatest triumph of all, to have compelled the one player who could choose into doing exactly what we required. Well done, faithful servant.
Line 2 said:
Builds your roofs of dead wood. Builds your walls of dead stone. Builds your dreams of dead thoughts. Comes crying laughing singing back to life, takes what you steal, and pulls the skins from your dead bones shrieking.

You are meant to put in a new quote when you guess one. I'll do it for you...

"Ah...! The Masamune!!! I bet you're just dying to use it! The black wind begins to blow... Okay... give me your best shot... If you're prepared for the void!"

I'm better at answering them then coming up with ones to put in there.

But here's one.

"I have nightmare eyes!"

Quote 1: You cannot unring a bell.

Quote 2: DOOM! Doom! Da-doom doom doom! Doom doom!
1: It's cheating a bit since it's not the original source for the line, but Geneforge. At the end, if I recall.

2: Probably wrong on this one, but my brain jumps immediately to Deekin from NWN and his Doom Song. Probably the wrong pattern of "Doom"s though.

Here are a couple more to guess, this time from some of the less well-known games from my collection (as opposed to Thief and the other one I quoted before):

1. "A red crayon and... a red broach... A red rose and... red blood... Red is the most beautiful color, yet it comes at a price."

2. "How will the knowledge of your past affect the way you live today? This is a matter for you and you alone to face."

"You can't recall
if the whisky knocked you flat
or if everything was a blur
when you met her.
All that you remember
is the song of a vampire
a melancholy tune
about impending doom."
