Great idea! Here's some of my favorites:

"Hope you weren't a procrastinator, you just ran out of tomorrows!" Caleb, Blood 2.

"Love gives you wings. It makes you fly. I don't even call it love. I call it Geronimo. When you're in love, you'll jump right from the top of the Empire State and you won't care, screaming Geronimo the whole way down. I love her so bad, I just... whoa, she wrecks me. I'd die for her." -Jerry Fletcher, Conspiracy Theory.

Also, not my favorites, but good ones nonetheless:

"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain.

Edit: Oh, I can't believe I forgot these:

"This is not Nam. This is bowling. There are rules." - Walter Sobchak, The Big Lebowski

"What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to **** off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn’t you consider that to be insane?" - Garland Green, Con Air

"Being powerful is like being a lady; if you have to tell people you are, your not." Margaret Thatcher

"Whats the difference between genius and stupid? Genius has limits." Einstein

[Azimuth]

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." - George Bernard Shaw

[Cyberninja]

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. - Bruce Lee

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend." - Bruce Lee

"The highest technique is to have no technique. My technique is a result of your technique; my movement is a result of your movement." - Bruce Lee

"If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected." - Sun Tzu

"To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." - Sun Tzu

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

[Paradox]

"Freedom is actually a bigger game than power. Power is about what you can control. Freedom is about what you can unleash."
~ Harriet Rubin

"We pity him. We hate him. We fear him – all because there is a little of him in each of us, though we admit it to ourselves only in the darkest part of the night"

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.
-- James D. Nicoll

"I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." -Douglas Adams

But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
- V from V for Vendetta


The goal of life is not to find oneself among the majority, but in the ranks of the insane.

Sorry about some of these, I don't know where they came from :(

[MrDeVil_909]

"i am not the messiah'-Brian in Life of Brian :)

I prefer the next line 'Alright then, I am the Messiah, now **** off!'

Is it weird that all the quotes that occur to me have swearing?

"Losers whine about doing their best, winners go home and **** the prom queen." Sean Connery in The Rock. Actually this is something of a mantra of mine, every time I think I've done my best it drives me to try harder.

From Catch 22
==========

Yossarian looked at him soberly and tried another approach. "Is Orr crazy?"
"He sure is," Doc Daneeka said.

"Can you ground him?"

"I sure can but first he has to ask me to. That's part of the rule."

"Then why doesn't he ask you to?"

"Because he's crazy," Doc Daneeka said. "He has to be crazy to keep flying combat missions after all the close calls he's had. Sure I can ground Orr. But first he has to ask me to."

"That's all he has to do to be grounded?"

"That's all. Let him ask me."

"And then you can ground him?" Yossarian asked.

"No, then I can't ground him."

"You mean there's a catch?"

"Sure there is a catch," Doc Daneeka replied. "Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn't really crazy."

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, that specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane, he had to fly them. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of the clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.

"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka replied.

Oh, that's right. Because I already was a year and a half ago (http://forums.tidemedia.co.za/nag/showpost.php?p=1484&postcount=15). Twice in one thread is too much for me.

You realise this isn't really a quote as such, or at least it's certainly not attributed to any noteworthy Latin orator or writer. And it's usually actually used as a noun. Lol.

Also, I always think it's exceedingly pretentious when people list Latin quotes, but can't actually speak, read, or write Latin. Obiter dictum.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and only really serves to highlight your fundamental lack of understanding about scientific theories regarding the origins of the universe :/

That's actually a really great quote.
