Oh, so it's book fiction you wanted! Well, that's easy!

"'And what of your companions? What about Legolas and me?' cried Gimli, unable to contain himself any longer. 'You rascals, you wolly-footed and wool-pated truants! A fine hunt you led us! Two hundred leagues, through fen and forest, battle and death, to rescue you! And here we find you feasting and idling - and smoking! Smoking! Where did you come by the weed, you villains? Hammer and tongs! I am so torn between rage and joy, that if I do not burst, it will be a marvel!'"

The Two Towers, JRRT

"Necessity exists." - various Liaden Universe inhabitants

"The confusion of mind you dub honor is a disease, for which the Roknari galley-masters have the cure." - Lupe dy Cazaril to Ser dy Joal

"I don't duel, boy. I kill as a soldier kills, which is as a butcher kills, as quickly, efficiently, and with as least risk to myself as I can arrange. If I decide you die, you will die when I choose, where I choose, by what means I choose, and you will never see the blow coming." - dy Cazaril to dy Joal, a few minutes later

"When the souls rise up in glory, yours shall not be shunned or sundered, but shall be the prize of the gods' gardens. Even your darkness shall be treasured then, and all your pain made holy." - Lupe dy Cazaril to Ista dy Chalion

(eh, too many more quotes I could add from this one - I just re-read the book recently)

"One step at a time, I can walk around the world. Watch me." - Aral Vorkosigan

"Endure pain, find joy, and make your own meaning, because the universe certainly isn't going to supply it. Always be a moving target. Live. Live. Live." - Cordelia Vorkosigan to newborn son Miles

(could go on and on with Cazaril and Vorkosigan quotes here, but then I'd be digging through Bujold books all evening to make sure I get the quotes exactly right...)

"Think it through." - many characters, many authors

"Then, following his success proving the nonexistence of God, Man went on to prove that black is white, and promptly got run over at the next zebra crossing." - The Hitckhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams

"Three... Two... What, no, I would not like any coffee, I am a bomb and I don't drink coffee, now, oh drat, where was I? I lost count, guess I'll have to start all over again!" - Starship Titanic, Douglas Adams
