All of these are from either Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel.
Buffy: "Does it ever get easy?"
Giles: "You mean life?"
Buffy: "Yeah. Does it get easy?"
Giles: "What do you want me to say?"
Buffy: "Lie to me."
Giles: "Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after."
Buffy: "Liar."

"It's like a song. Now, I can hold a note for a long time -- (laughs) actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music." -Lorne

"The hardest thing in this world is to live in it." -Buffy, and later Dawn

I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear x-rays, and I want to...I want to smell dark matter. I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me.
I'm a machine, and I could know much more.

Definitely can't name them all, not even by a longshot. So here's a few:
"There's a benefit to losing: You get to learn from your mistakes." -Megamind (Megamind)
"I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that." - Rick (Casablanca)
"Time to nut up or shut up!" -Tallahassee (Zombieland)
""We are one. As we share the glory of our victories, so too should we share the pain of our defeats. In this way we grow closer. We grow stronger." -Malik (Assassin's Creed)

"What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms... or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy." -Aemon Targaryen
"I'm your huckleberry" ~ from Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holliday in Tombstone.
Admittedly not an entirely fictional character, though there is no historical evidence of Holliday ever saying that to Johnny Ringo or anyone else. Holliday is an amazing figure. what Val Kilmer portrays so well in Tombstone is Holliday's complete disregard for his own life (for those who do not know, he was terminally with tuberculosis).

Ahem. There is SAND on my boots!
Kefka. A more perfect to demonstrate how much of a dick you are I have yet to see.
The power of a god is the power to create, to shape the universe as one sees fit. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe. The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time. Time to create, to create, and escape.
Escape will make me God.

- Phoenix Wright (Because I do want to be a lawyer, if something ever stresses me out to the point of just welling up, I think of this)

"You pigs, you. You goof like pigs, is all. You got the most in you and you use the least. You hear me, you? Got a million in you and spend pennies. Got a genius in you and think crazies. Got a heart in you and feel empties. All a you."
