Alright...if I don't take a break from the strangest thread ever, I'm gonna explode.

Quotes have always been a big hobby of mine. If you don't believe me, here's (http://www.lerch.ws/quotes.html) 18 pages of my favorites.

Anyways, I would like you guys to just tell what your favorite quotes are, maybe I can add a page or two to the list! (I love quotes).

One note: for the most part, I'm talking about quotes from famous people...in general, i do not find "My Friend George once say: 'Holy Frick! Poop Stinks!'", to be an enjoyable quote, no matter how much you may like it.

Movie quotes, quotes from famous peeps...that's what I'm looking for.

Thanks - let's make THIS thread 20 pages long!

Personally, for the last two weeks, for no good reason I've had the following scene from PF going through my head.

"You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?"
"They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?"
"No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f*** a Quarter Pounder is."
"So what do they call it?"
"Royale with Cheese."
"Royale with Cheese!" (said only like Sam Jackson could)
