'There's this man, and he created everything, the universe, the earth, and you. And he's watching you all the time, and he has these 10 rules, which you must not ever break, and if you do break one of these ten rules, then he has a special place, full of fire, and brimstone and pain and anguish where he will put you, for all eternity... ...but he LOVES you!' -George Carlin (May 12, 1937 ? June 22, 2008)
These next 4 are all attributed to J. Michael Straczynski (born July 17, 1954) because I just can't pick one.
'Prophecy is a guess that comes true, when it doesn't, it's a metaphor. You could put a gun to your head tomorrow and pull the trigger and then the dream is just a dream. And the prophecy is just a metaphor, and so are you.'
'Whether it was me or my world, whether it was a total stranger, or your worst enemy, you were a witness! It doesn't matter if they'd stopped, it doesn't matter if they'd listened, you had an obligation to speak out!'
'If I take a lamp and shine it toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp, is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume that the light on the wall is God. But the light is not the goal of the search, it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall, the brighter the light on the wall, the greater the sense of revelation upon seeing it. Similarly, someone who does not search who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we percive as God, is a by-product of our search for God. It may simply be an apreciation of the light, pure and unblemished, not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand infront of the light and assume we are the centre of the universe. God looks astonishingly like we do. Or we turn to look at our shadow, and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, then we defeat it's purpose. Which is to use the light of our search, to illuminate the wall in all it's beauty, and all it's flaws. And in so doing better understand the world around us.'
'I believe that when we leave a place, part of us goes with it, and part of us remains. Go anywhere... ... when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone, our voices will linger in these walls, for as long as this place remains. But I will admit, that the part of me that is going, will very much miss the part of you that is staying.'
Babylon 5 had an unusually profound affect on me...

I don't know if this is the right type of quote, but hell, I'm throwing it in for lulz
Winston Churchill: "Madame, would you sleep with me for a million pounds?"
Random party guest: "Why, Winston, yes I would"
Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for ten pounds?"
Guest: "Winston! What kind of woman do you take me for?"
Churchill: "We have already ascertained what kind of woman you are. Now we are merely agreeing upon a price"
Makes me laugh every time.
It's Churchill, just Wiki his birth-death date

"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?"
Not sure if thats entirely correct but that's about it.

"People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shite, which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid. Take the best orgasm you ever had, multiply it by a thousand and you're still nowhere near it. When you're on junk you have only one worry: scoring. When you're off it you are suddenly obliged to worry about all sorts of other shite. Got no money: can't get pished. Got money: drinking too much. Can't get a bird: no chance of a ride. Got a bird: too much hassle. You have to worry about bills, about food, about some football team that never fucking wins, about human relationships and all the things that really don't matter when you've got a sincere and truthful junk habit."
actually,
i love Trainspotting.
there's some beastin' quotes in it.
"I hate being Scottish. We're the lowest of the fucking low, the scum of the earth, the most wretched, servile, miserable, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the English, but I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. We can't even pick a decent culture to be colonized by. We are ruled by effete arseholes. It's a shite state of affairs and all the fresh air in the world will not make any fucking difference."
Two, in dog-latin;
"Nolite te bastardes carborundorum" (Don't let the bastards grind you down)--Margaret Atwood, A Handmaid's Tale
"Quando omni flunkus moritati" (When all else fails, play dead)
Oh, et omni quod "Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur". But you get the pleasure of looking that one up.

I do like the one about the lady and being drunk:GrinningManiac said:
"I may be drunk but in the morning I will so sober, you madam will still be ugly"

"Yo! She-*****, let's go!"
Army of Darkness. Not very easy to use, but the word she-***** in itself makes it amazing.

Rita Rudner
"I'll tell you what makes my blood boil.... Crematoriums"

I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, and most importantly, I'm free, in all the ways you are not.
"As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it and let it hold you until they come..."
"There's such a lack of responsibility for one's actions in the world, a selfishness and a great destruction in the way people live their lives. It's all instant gratification, and who cares how my instant gratification affects those around me, or on a small personal level, or a global level. The way people treat each other is truly disgusting, and we've created an environment through advances in science and technology that allows for a very septic society to thrive. And we breed and breed, and all the wrong people breed while all the right people don't wanna have children because they don't wanna place them in this world."
Both are by Davey Havok, the lead singer of AFI. (1975-?)

A lot of my favorite quotes come from Warhammer 40k:
Take care, lest your protests grow tiresome. I have asked for so little! Anyone would think that I have asked you to sacrifice yourselves and your sons! And yet, in Slaanesh's boundless and pleasing mercy, I have asked only for your daughters. Surely you would not deny me my small enjoyments?
Long shall be your suffering. Joyous be your pain.
"Attack" is the only order worth remembering.
Let us play hide and slay!
Show me a fortress and I'll show you a ruin.
Call no man happy until he is dead.
Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life.
Brave are those who know everything yet fear nothing.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Nobody is innocent, there are merely varying levels of guilt
Excuses are the refuge of the weak
Ignorance is bliss.
Ask not the Eldar a question, for they will give you three answers, all of which are true and terrifying to know.
He who sees his own doom can better avoid its path. He who sees the doom of others can deliver it.
Gather the dead for war, let them join our ranks, lest we are forced to join theirs.
There is no art more beautiful and diverse as the art of death.
Many claim they wish to destroy their enemies. If this were true, most would be compelled to destroy themselves.
There is no such thing as a plea of innocence in my court. A plea of innocence is guilty of wasting my time. Guilty.
Only the insane have strength enough to prosper. Only those who prosper may truly judge what is sane.
Revenge is a dish best served with mayonnaise and those little cheesy things on sticks.
If your battle plan's working, it's probably a trap.
Life's so much easier when you've got someone to blame.
Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter
Life's a journey. Shame about the destination.
I don't have time to die - I'm too busy!
You can never have too many enemies. The more you've got, the more likely they are to get in each other's way.
?I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.? - Jules Renard
"Yes, Mrs. Braddock, I am drunk. But you, Mrs. Braddock are ugly, and disgustingly fat. But, tomorrow morning, I, Winston Churchill will be sober."
"Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on. "
Both are by Winston Churchill
