As the title says, I am really interested to hear your favourite quotes, be it from movies, music, books, video games, anime, interviews, etc.
( I hope nothing like this hasn't been done before in the forums yet)
As start I will write down some of my top quotes ^-^:
" Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others" - Jonathan Swift
(This quote is truly one of my favourite of all time. The author of Gulliver's travels is a master of sarcasm, if I was to write down all my Swift quotes I would sit a long time here haha)
" In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - Geroge Orwell " 1984"
" Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself" - Sir Terry Pratchett
"What are humans' desires? What I think the most troublesome desire is the desire for attention. It's the source of jealousy and relationship problems, too." Makishima Shogo in Psycho Pass
"The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary. Men alone are quite capable of every wickedness." - Joseph Conrad ( Author of 'Heart of Darkness')
Sorry for the long wall of text ^-^ I am curious to see your favourite quotes now!!

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!” - Cave Johnson (Portal 2)
"For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love."
"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan |

Ohh I am swayed by the choices of your quotes *-* Portal is really quote worthy! Cave Johnson and his lemons will always be one of my favourite parts. I also love the part where Glados says in Portal 2
" We both said a lot of things you are going to regret."
I love J.R.R. Tolkien and Eric Idle! Those are indeed really good quotes :3
Any Ratchet and Clank fans out here? I love this particular quote of Orvus in Ratchet and Clank: A crack in time
"Remember, the universe has a wonderful sense of humour. The trick is, learning how to take a joke."
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."
" Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." - The last 2 quotes are by Oscar Wilde
"Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others"

Ohh I like this idea!
Of course Douglas Adams, "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
From Doctor Who, "You should always waste time when you don't have any. Time is not the boss of you."
Billy Connolly, "There's no such thing as bad weather. There's only weather, and the wrong clothes."
And this bit from Patch Adams, which I could never do justice by writing it out, but if you have 3 minutes 16 seconds to spare is, if you ask me, always worth a watch: Patch Earns his Nickname
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. |

"Merlina, every world has it's end. I know that's kind of sad, but... that's why we've gotta live life to the fullest in the time we have. At least, that's what I figure." -Sonic The Hedgehog
"Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." Dr Suess. was a freaking genius to be honest.
"Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb." - Unknown |

I always forget them as soon as I find any I like... :I But I really like, "You were born an original. Don't die a copy" by John Mason.
Also, pretty much anything by Tolkien.
Particularly, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us", "The old that is strong does not wither" and "Deep roots are not reached by the frost"
‘All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.’ – Gandalf the Grey |
