For some reason, I love quotes. Always have. Whenever I see a quote, I try to take time to stop and read it.
Over the years, I've found a few quotes that I really like. Some were said by fictional characters (e.g. those from moves or books).
My favorite quote is, of course, the one in my signature.
There are several ways to look at it. It's funny, but also has great truth.

Go ahead and post your favorite quotes, too! Here is a list of mine:
Note: quotes by fictional characters are followed by the ~ symbol, with a name in parenthesis saying what book or movie it came from.

? "I made a promise: 'Don't you leave him, Samwise Gamgee.' And I don't mean to." ~ Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring)

? "Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall." ~ Saphira (Eldest)

I left out some patriotic ones; just to prevent a possible flame war

"Go ahead, make my day." - Harry Callahan (Sudden Impact, 1983)

There should definitely be more quotes from the Dirty Harry series. Prior to the one mentioned above:

Harry: "Well, we're not gonna just let you walk out of here."
Thief: "Who's 'we', sucka?"
Harry: "Smith, Weston, and me."

Also, some House quotes.

"I was curious, and seeing as how I'm not a cat - that's not dangerous."

This one's from Scrubs.

A little explanation before the quote:

JD asks Dr. Cox to give his interns a nice 'pep-talk'. Since Dr. Cox isn't very keen on doing this, he tells the interns the following:

"Each and every one of you is going to kill a patient. At some point during your residency, you will SCREW up, they WILL die and it will be BURNED into your conscience, FOREVER!"

When he said that, I laughed so hard I thought I was going to have a heart-attack!

Soldier: General, we are surrounded sir!
General: Excellent, now we can attack in each direction!

Mom: WHO ATE THE LAST CUPCAKE?!
One of the Children: Eh, mom, the question is what, not who.
Mom: Your dad again huh?

The problem with society is that violence is rated 12+ while love is 18+

Karl Heinrich Marx

"Practice is higher than (theoretical) knowledge, for it has not only the dignity of universality, but also of immediate actuality"

Vladimir Lenin

I once received a card with a quote from Seneca on it, thence it's my favorite quote. It tells a part of his twentieth letter. Although the text is printed in Hungarian, I'm trying to translate it to English: The second part of the statement means very much to me, as I always desired for an immunity against people trying to take deep effects on me wrapping it into a kind of misleading kindness. Until reaching this though, I can appear mistrustful even against harmless attempts to share opinions with me.

"The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic." - Josef Vissarionovic Stalin.

Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
