... more to come :) hopefully! i seem to only remember funny quotes in situations that present themselves, not usually off-the-cuff!
I just ripped this of my facebook :
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, "The spice must flow"
Dagny Taggart, "Who is John Galt?"
Roland Deschain the last of Eld, "Ka is the wheel that keeps turning"
Major Andersonm, "Sometimes we must become what we hate to save what we love"
Immanuel Kant, "semper aude" (dare to know)
Raidohead, "I got myxomatosis"
The Counting Crows, "dreams are memories of ghost"
Michael Scott, "It feels like someone took my heart and dropped it in a boiling bucket of tears, and at the same time someone else is hitting my soul, in the crotch, with a frozen sledge hammer, and then a third guy starts punching me in the grief bone, and i'm crying and no one can hear me because i'm terribly terribly alone."
Sir Walter Scott, "Oh woe what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve"
-You had me at hello.
I like this one because I fell in love with Rick the FIRST TIME we met.

"The strength of your faith should lead you to die for someone who believes differently; not kill them." -John Piper
I guess the one for me that comes to mind, is one I've quoted mayn times from DC Talk.."the leading cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, they acknowledge Him with their lips and denigh Him with their lifestyle, that is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."
I love Pup's quote from Fiddler on the Roof and Elizabeth's from Monte Python :D Both great movies.
Many of my favorite quotes are from Eleanor Roosevelt...
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."
"Women are like teabags. We don't know our true strength until we are in hot water!"
And I think this one is always cited as anonymous...
"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly."
Great idea for a post, Jess!

One of my favorites comes from the movie "the wedding planner", when the doctors are golfing.... "What is what I think is great, but isn't as great as something greater"
and another one, not from a movie, not really sure where I picked it up is "Life isn't about praying for the storm to stop, it is about learning to dance in the rain"
