"But enough about me. What about you? What do you think of me?"
It's overdone nowadays, but the quote is so ironic that i love it.

at this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world... some are running scared, some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day...others are just facing the truth some are evil men, that war with good, and some are good struggling with evil. six billion people in the world. six billion souls. And sometimes all you needs is 1
I'm not sure why but it's just really meaningful to me. It was a voiceover that Hillarie Burton(Peyton Sawyer) said on One Tree Hill. *Peyton Sawyer is the character. Hillarie Burton is the actor*

I loved Val Kilmer in Tombstone, he was so much sexier back then, and I've always remembered that, "I'm your Huckleberry!"
My favourite quote is the opening sentence of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
The 2nd sentence is a gem as well: "However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters."
The brilliance and wit that is Jane Austen, bringing me back to her books at frequent intervals.

Two of my favorite quotes come from President Thomas Jefferson: "The legitimate powers of government extend only to such acts as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." and "I cannot live without books."

An elevator always smells different to a midget.
Sort of like put yourself in the other guy's shoes.
Also, eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

I like tons of quotes from Dorothy Parker, she was great at one-liners. Funny and self-effacing.
"One more drink and I'll be under the host."
"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."
"I don't care what is written about me as long as it isn't true."

This quote is stuck in my head "Mess with the best, Die
like the rest" from the book "Hackers".

"For most of history, 'Anonymous' was a woman."
-- Virginia Woolf
I like the quote because it is clever and because it was probably true:)
