...and from a work of fiction:
"A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay." - Paul Kirkwood (played by Michael Rapaport) in Beautiful Girls

"The greatest trick, the Devil ever pulled...was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, POOF! He's gone!". Verbal Kint/Keyser Soze from The Usual Suspects.

Heh, great Ghostbusters line.
Mine are:
"NO! I want an official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time!" - Ralphe, A Christmas Story - said to Santa clinging in defiance on the slide.
"You'll shoot your eye out." - Various adults to Ralphe, A Christmas Story
"Time is the fire in which we burn." - Dr. Tolian Soran to Captain Picard, Star Trek: Generations (I understand it's from a poem, but still.)
But by far the one quote? This one, would that we could all live by it:
"Fourscore and...(checks watch)... seven minutes ago... we, your forefathers, were brought forth upon a most excellent adventure conceived by our new friends, Bill... and Ted. These two great gentlemen are dedicated to a proposition which was true in my time, just as it's true today. Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES! " - Abraham Lincoln, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

imagination is more important than knowledge
there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics
Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!

"When did you move to Florida?"
"Ellen, are you still dating Clark?"

"Oh dear, did I break wind?"
"Jesus, did the room clear out Bethany? Hell no, she means presents. You shouldn't have brought presents!"
"It isn't every day somebody moves into a new house."
"THEY DIDN'T MOVE INTO A NEW HOUSE!"

"We're gonna have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tapdanced with Danny f*cking Kaye! And when Santa squeezes his fat white *** down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of ***holes this side of the nuthouse!"

And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-***, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey sh*t he is! Hallelujah!!! Holy sh*t!!! Where's the Tylenol?!!"
