OT: Good quotes

[Renegade 13]

Inspired by Atrocities trying to find the source of a quote, I think it'd be neat to collect a bunch of good quotes and their sources. I like quotes. Don't know why...

Please try to keep the thread clean, without letting it devolve into something...else. Like most threads do after a short time

I go first!

"And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche

I know, Nietzsche was a bit of a freak, but I like the quote for some reason.

Star Trek Emporer? Some guy who sells stuff in the Star Trek universe?

"Colonel O'Neil, what the hell do you think you're doing?!?"
"What?! In the middle of my BACKSWING?!"

"Uh, this would appear to be a severe malfunction....."
-Some TV reporter talking about the Challenger..... he said this several minutes after the explosion. When it had just exploded he continues quoting statistics about altitude, speed etc.

[Atrocities]

"We have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned there can be no turning back. We must go forward to preserve in peace what we won in war." - Any One? If you said Macarthur you are right.

In DS9 Admiral Ross also said these words when the Dominion signed the documents of surrender.

"We must go forward to preserve in peace what we won in war."

"I am your father." - Vader to Luke Skywalker "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" - Luke Skywalker

The error is corrected. The spelling mistake is fine.

For some reason You are amongst the three people that I suspect would post Nietzsche. I have no idea why... The Others Strangely are Dogscoff and Puke.

Then Agin I'm about to Quote some Churchill, so I can't really talk Just trying to find one short enough, a great man for speeches but long winded at times

"If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."

[Starhawk]

"Don't be worried about that bullet with your name on it, worry about the battle cannon shell with "To Whom it may concern."
-Some soldier from some war

"Retreat Hell we're just advancing in the other direction."
-Wasn't that Patton?

[Randallw]

"Don't worry men, they couldn't hit an elephant at this..."

last words of a US officer.

Some more Churchill.

Lady MP "If you were my Husband sir, I would poison you"
Churchill "If you were my Wife I'd drink it"

Lady MP "You sir are drunk!"
Churchill "And you're ugly, but I'll be sober in the morning"

[Atrocities]

"This is my BOOOM Stick!"
'Yup fella's, you left your back door wide open on that one!"

"Its right here plain as purple crayon!"

"Where are the flying cars? I was promised flying cars! I don't see any flying cars! Do you see any flying cars?" - Unknown but sounded like 'Sisko - DS9'

From "Sean of the Dead", one of the finest films ever made:

"You want to put your lives into the hands of this man, a man whose idea of a romantic nightspot and impenetrable fortress are one and the same?"
