Here's some (I see your a naruto fan so)

Naruto: Dattebayo!

Kakashi: Uh, Naruto, your speech was cool and all, but if you lose any more blood, you're going to die.

And here's some from One Piece I like:

Roronoa Zoro: I am always serious.
Nami: That's what makes you so stupid.

Usopp: Talking's easy, but we'll need true strength for the battle. What are you guys capable of?
Roronoa Zoro: Slicing!
Monkey D Luffy: Stretching!
Nami: Thieving!
Usopp: I'll be hiding!

Here's one from a short X-com fan fic I once wrote.

(After sergeant Ironhead has defeated four heavily armed Ethereals with just his bare fists, his commander walks to the evil alien brain that controls all the aliens in the system so that he can blow it to pieces. Alien brain tries to talk its way out of things with the help of a nice screen to show funny pictures with and the commander lowers his weapon. Unfortunately, sergeant Ironhead picks up a gun from one of the death Ethereals and vaporizes the barin with some good old plasma.)

Commander Vogel:,, Sergeant, no! What have you done?! You just ruined everything! We could have become friends! It was right and we were wrong! They never intended to destroy us! Why?!!”

Sergeant Ironhead:,, That was the worst and most boring movie I’ve ever seen. Lousy special effects.”



Here's another one from one of my stories, a different universe this time.

,,Ah, finally back again. Now before we’re going to save the galaxy as we know it, does anyone want some coffee?”
,,Is that all you can think about, captain? We nearly got killed over a dozen times back there!”
,,You can’t go to war when you’re thirsty."

And a last one. (yes, the captain is addicted to coffee.)

captain (after having threatened to blow up the ship):,, I’m not going to let those braindead morons onboard. I’m not a politician, but even I know that no one will care about my little threat if they have those monkeys onboard who probably don’t even know how the coffee machine works!”
Some alien they picked up on the other side of the galaxy:,, What is the importance of coffee for your race?”
captain:,, I just think it tastes good, that’s all."

I love the qoute we can for example see in Minque's story of Serene by Churchill "It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required" - I just love qoutes from WW2, another one is "You won't get Purple Heart hiding in a foxhole, go out there and fight!" Or something like that biggrin.gif

her are a couple I've heard:

Roy M. Cohn: Go after a man's weakness and never, ever, threaten unless you are going to follow through, becuase if you don't, the next time you wont be taken seriously.

Stephen Ambrose: The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future

Yogi Berra: You can observe a lot by just watching

Then a very common one: Ignorance is bliss, my friend. biggrin.gif

Then I was reading Exile's Honor by Mercedes Lackey (awsome autor IMO) and I read this: "Expertise can get you to good, but practice gets you to master" or something very close to that


I htink i'll post more later but I'll have to upturn my room to find the paper with quotes on it....

I have quite a number of quotes that I like. Most of them are really old though.

"A badly led mob is no more an army than a heap of building materials is a house" Herodotus or some other old guy.

"Only the dead have seen the end of the war" some old guy, Plato maybe.

"I don't shake hands with homosexuals" George Becali (the owner of a big romanian soccer team, Steaua Bucharest, which is in the Uefa Cup semifinals with Middlesborough)

"On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament!], `Pray,
Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right
answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
-- Charles Babbage

:biglaugh:

A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.
-- Yogi Berra

Reporter: "What would you do if you found a million dollars?"
Yogi Berra: "If the guy was poor, I would give it back."

Don't get mad, get even.
-- Joseph P. Kennedy


Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side,
and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
-- Carl Zwanzig


And finally, a quote from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:

"The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife."
-- Ferengi Rule of Aquisition #48

There are many quotes I love, but for now I'll just say this:

"I don't hate people. I just think they're all idiots"

Tellie
Ok, here is a couple of good quotes I found funny.

We're the good guys, their the bad guys...George W Bush, that was the explanation of the Iraq war...

To win war, you gotta become war....:Rambo.

A soldiers duty is not to die for his country, but to make the other bastards die for theirs....:General, S Patton.

One of my favorite quotes are,

"When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity."-Albert Einstein

Here's another favorite of mine by a true hero,

"Every man dies. Not every man really lives."-William Wallace viking.gif

And the last two are in my signature, so you've probably seen them already laugh.gif.

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."-William Shakespeare

"The whole art of war consists of guessing at what is on the other side of the hill."-Arthur Wellesley

As you can see, I'm a Total War fan. It's a great game really, better than those "rock-paper-scissors" type games like Empire Earth or Age of Empires. It really gives you insight on how troops are lead.

This is a quote from Hayt (a dev of OB) on the official forums before Oblivion came out, and rumors about how bad it was gonna be, ran amuck.

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" the name slps my mind at the moment

"Every fallen enemy is a risen crowd" a saying I use now after a very long conversation. The person I was speaking to and I got to a point where we were discussing how much a cheering crowd can affect a fight or anything for that matter. He asked me "is there any way one can achieve that boost of confidence without a crowd?" and I responded with the quote.

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies" by the often mis-quoted Aristotle.

"One with the law is a majority" by one of the coolest men ever, Calvin Coolidge.

I have thought this through a lot, and I can't decide wich quote I like the most. But there's this one that has stayed in my mind:

"He's one of those rangers..." from LoTR.
It just sounds so cool when the innkeeper says it, gives me goosebumps.

Hehe, my brother use to say that when he sees me in my hiking clothes, "she's one of those rangers...hurmm"

Thanks Stargie. I hate to miss-qoute people and forget their names, one of my many, many, many, many, many peeves.

I'm putting this qoute up because every time I've ever seen it said, it was attributed to the wrong person. It wasn't Stalin, it wasn't Napoleon, it wasn't Mousilinni (I'm pretty certain I mispelled that one) and it wasn't Ghenghis Khan (yes, I heard someone credit the Khan for this one. The victor will never be asked if he told the truth was said by Adolf Hitler.

Sorry, gotta be a geek...

"The needs of the many...outweigh the needs of the few..." -Spock, The Wrath of Kahn

"There are other forms of life on Earth, Doctor. Only human arrogance would assume
the message must be meant for man." - Spock, The Voyage Home
jack cloudy
Ah, talking Star Trek, aren't we? Prepare for the ultimate geekiness!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Spock: ,,Lieutenant, the Admiral is well aware of the regulations." Upon encountering the Reliant. Saavik, (like the rest of the crew actually still in training) talks about some regulation to raise the shields and all. Kirk decides not to and the Enterprise takes a big beating.

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
Kirk: ,,Because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many." Kirk explains why he sacrificed everything (ship, son, a couple of Klingons, his rank etc.) to revive Spock.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
,,Must be the radiation." Chekov when he threatens to stun a couple of navy guys and his phaser doesn't function.

Kirk (after McCoy got them past the guard by telling them that they had a patient with something very deadly sounding disease.): ,,What did you say she had?"
McCoy: ,,Stomach ache."

Guard: ,,Hey, I thought you came in with a woman."
Kirk: ,,Wrong patient." While fleeing with Chekov.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
Kirk: ,,What does God need with a starship?" Yes, he met God and he wasn't impressed. evillol.sml.gif (The god was a fake, but still.)

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Kirk (after nearly getting beaten by some big alien he still managed to win by hitting the knee.): ,,At least he had a knee."
Someone else:,, Not everyone has his genitals on the same place as humans."

Kirk (at the end): ,,Second star to the right, and straight on till morning."

Star Trek VII: Generations.

Soran (when Kirk appears from nowhere after having been missing for 75 years or something): ,,And who might you be?"
Picard: ,,Have you forgotten your history? That is Captain James T. Kirk."
Soran (punches Kirk): ,,I remember my history and if I am right, you were death."

Ps: I think Kirk died much too easily in this film. It was two against one!

Star Trek VIII: First Contact.
,,Borg? Sounds Swedish."

Cochrane (during the warp flight): ,,AAAAAHHH!!!"

Data (upon betraying the Borg): ,,Resistance is futile!"

Star Trek X: Nemesis.
Worf (with a hangover): ,,Romulan ale should be illegal."
La Forge: ,,It is illegal."
Worf: ,,Then it should be more illegal."

When the dune buggy shoots out of the shuttle with Picard behind the weels.
Data: ,,I have never understood the human's need for driving at unsafe velocities."
(when they are shot at.)
Picard:,, It is time for unsafe velocities."

(when picard and Data steal a Romulan fighter somewhere later in the film, there is a small reference to the car chase earlier.)
Data:,, Should I fly?"
Picard looks at him like "What the hell are you thinking? Of course not!"

And of course the Vulcan classic:,, Live long and prosper."

Umm, yeah that is all I can remember for the moment.
The Wolf
This is a quote from Terry Pratchett's book 'Interesting times'.

QUOTE

"Please give me that coin now, o' respected elder", he said.
Seven eventful seconds passed. When all had gone safely behind the corner to hide, mister Saveloy said: "Allright, whole class: who can tell me what Tshingis did wrong?"
"Didn't say 'please'?"
"Wha'?"
"No."
"Didn't thank?"
"Wha'?"
"No."
"Stroke that man with a melon to his head, pushed him head forward to the strawberrybox, kicked his nutbags, setted the shack on fire and robbed all his money?"
"Wha'?"
"Correct!" mister Saveloy sighed. "Tshingis, you did just fine until that."

As the ultimate collection of star trek movie quotes was posted, I feel it my duty to add some anime quotes I like.

Samurai Champloo:

Fuu: [Mugen takes Fuu's coin and flips it high into the air] Uhh, don't you think you tossed it a little far?
Jin: He doesn't understand the meaning of "restraint."
Mugen: Kiss my boat.

Mugen: You point a sword at someone you either kill or be killed. Anyone who can't handle that should just SHUT THE hamster UP!

Random Guy: [After watching Mugen star kicking people's asses with his sandals] Who... is that man?
Jin: That man is a fool.

Trigun:

Wolfwod: We’re not God. Not only are our powers limited, but we sometimes are driven to become the devil himself.

Million Knives: [both using telepathy] I didn't create these weapons to be wasted like that!
Vash the Stampede: Using them this way is the only thing that gives them any meaning at all
Million Knives: It's hopeless, isn't it?
Vash the Stampede: I've made my decision
Million Knives: You're not a human being, you're a plant
Vash the Stampede: I know that
Million Knives: You're a superior being!
Vash the Stampede: I disagree

I'll add more later.
