This is of course a rather random topic, but it seems like it could have interesting potential. All you have to do is put your #1 quote on, and perferbly where it's from, yea... ( how to use a forum 101 xP ) I'll start with mine then, " It's simple, kill the dead person " -Another
To be fair, I haven't seen the show in awhile, so it may be paraphrased a bit, but still.

Hmm, interesting.. A bit philosophical, but definitely an interesting choice.

Sounds like me, since I used to stop eating at all you can eat places when I threw up from eating more than my stomach could hold.. ( Perhaps not the best practice ) XD

From this forum - "Picture or it didnt happen"

Overall - "Count for the best - prepare for the worst"

It was just the quote that I remembered of the top of my head, It's somewhat butchered because I translated it from German to English, but it gets its point across

The picture or it didn't happen one doesn't hold up as well anymore with the popularity of Photoshop, but it's still quite common. ( I like how I'm tearing apart your quote here.. I'm the worst huh? XD )   I do like the second one quite a bit though, since it is a good way to live your life.

I like this one quite a bit as well, but I'm also curious on the context of this one as well, since it seems like it was right before he/she did something "heroic"?

The second one is definitely a rather powerful quote indeed. The first quote well, I never really understood the significance, or real meaning behind it. ( I should change the title to " Tell me your favorite quote so I can nit pick at it )

That reminds me of a dentist I went to who had birds flying around freely in the office. I don't know if it's legal/safe/sanitary but I never went back.

“it is much safer to be feared than loved because ...love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.”

― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

“People should either be caressed or crushed. If you do them minor damage they will get their revenge; but if you cripple them there is nothing they can do. If you need to injure someone, do it in such a way that you do not have to fear their vengeance.”

― Niccolò Machiavelli

Every time you drink a glass of water, the odds are good that you imbibe at least one molecule that passed through the bladder of Oliver Cromwell.

Starting to lay down some deep quotes now I see, but they're definitely good ones though.

Well umm.. eww? Ok, well I guess waters not really all that clean in that sense since it has always been around, but interesting, and disturbing. ( also, shout-out to Oliver Cormwell! That glass of water earlier was quite good )

“Why should I not hate mine enemies―if I "love" them does that not place me at their mercy?” - Anton LeVey

 

"The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being" - Martin Heidegger

 

"“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret it either way; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it; believe a woman or believe her not, you will regret it either way; believing a woman or not believing her, you will regret it both ways. Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy” - Soren Kierkegaard
