Default OT: Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Whatever Quotes

Hey all I have a little time before I have to start my week 2 of college courses which will take a day or two of my time on work then a day or two on study and projects....anyway I just posted a new chapter of my story and it got me thinking "Yah know Trevor" that's me btw "You wrote in a few quotes to your story I wonder what some of the best quotes ever are."

So in my incredibly bored and sleep deprived mind I have come up with this idea.....post your favorite quote (preferably non vulger) from sci-fi fantasy or whatever and where it is from. I just want to see how much good stuff is out there

Here are my favorite quotes:

"Good....bad.....I'm the guy with the gun."
Ash from Army of Darkness

"This is my BOOMSTICK!"
Also Ash, from AOD

"Let's be about it."
Honor Harrington

"Peace through superior firepower."
Star Trek guy (Gawd only remembers those aliens)

"Reporting on ones enemy makes them your friend."
The Breed

"One step foward is two steps back."
The Breed.

"Peace is never permanent I only hope to see a temporary peace in my lifetime."
Admiral Yang Wenli "Legend of the Galactic Heroes"

"No Habla Jaffa!"
General Jack O'Niel Stargate SG-1

"Don't worry about that bullet with your name on it, worry about that battle shell with "To Whom it may concern.""
Unknown General Warhammer 40k Armageddon War


'Hehe, it looks like a dildo.'

'That's appropriate. Armed it can "screw" solar systems.'
-Ulver Seich and Churt Lyne, Excession (edited for content)

"I may be nuts but the rest of the galaxy is just "freaking" crazy!"
I can't remember where I heard that but it just made me laugh my butt off.

"If at first you don't succeed kill all the witnesses, burn the evidence and don't bother trying again because it probobly wasn't worth it anyway."
A good quote from I cant even remember where

"Life is a ***** and she slaps me every day."
Unknown but funny as all get out!

"Ray, when someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!" - Winston Zedemore, Ghostbusters

"Your the Control and I'm the damage."
Bit overwrought but it's from Doom 3

"It not easy being green!"
Orc from WCIII

"Me So horn-ed me hurt you long time."
Orc From WCIII

"Oh see the world they said, join the army they said, I'd rather be sailing."
Human Footman WCII

"I vote we frag this commander!"
Terran Marine SC

"Are you ready for your spunge bath."
Terran Medic SC: BW

"Ooops"
"What is oops don't say oops"
"It's nothing it's nothing I got it."
Probobly a slightly incorrect quote from ID4

"When life hands you lemons you kick and scream and throw them back in life's face until it gives you the oranges you asked for in the first place."
Can't remember who said it.

"The irony of space travel is that it takes barely a second to travel between star systems and barely takes any fuel, but once you get there it takes weeks to get anywhere and you have to refuel."
Captain Lord Rodrick Blane, A Mote in God's eye. (not a direct quote probobly but it's 4:33 AM where i am so I don't honestly remember.)


It's another dead end!

And you were the first to run out!

This happened because I trusted your intuition or whatever!

11th squad captain Zaraki Kenpachi to some little girl who's name i can't spell. The quote is from the Anime series Bleach.
__________________
When life gives you lemons take them and squeeze them in life's eye until it gives you the oranges you asked for!

"If men build things to look like our penis such as towers and ships does that mean female achitects represent women having penis envy?"
A line that made me chuckle, I can't remember where I heard it I just know it made me laugh.

"I'm not really a slapper....I mainly punch and gouge."
Tammy Lee my kung fu instructor/sifu's daughter when asked if she ever slapped a boy for saying something nasty to her.

Use of weapons by Iain M Banks. More of an extract than a quote, but utterly beautiful just the same:

Quote:

One of the people in the group held a little bundle of brown and yellow fur, cradled against one shoulder like a baby. "Here." the man said, presenting the tiny furry creature to Sma. She took it reluctantly. It was warm, had four limbs arranged conventionally, smelled attractive and wasn't any sort of animal she'd ever seen before; it had large ears on a large head, and as she held it, it opened its huge eyes and looked at her. "That's the ship," the man who'd handed her the animal said.

"Hello," the tiny being squeaked.

Sma looked it up and down. "You're the Xenophobe?"

"It's representative. The bit you can talk to. You can call me Xeny." It smiled; it had little round teeth. "I know most ships just use a drone, but," It glaced at Skaffen Amtiskaw, "they can be a bit boring, don't you think? I'm much cuter." It wriggled in her hands looking happy. "If you like," it gurgled, "I'll show you to your cabin, yes?"

"Yes; good idea," nodded Sma, and put the thing over her shoulder.

"Ooh, you're nice and warm," the little brown and yellow creature mumbled sleepily, snuggling into Sma's neck as they headed down a deeply carpeted corridor for Sma's quarters. It stirred and she found herself patting its back. "Left here," it said, at a junction then, "That's us just breaking orbit now, by the way."

"Good," Sma said.

"Can I cuddle up with you when you sleep?"

Sma stopped, detached the creature from her shoulder with one hand and stared it in the face. "What?"

"Just for chumminess' sake," the little thing said, yawning wide and blinking. "I'm not being rude; it's good bonding procedure."

Sma was aware of Skaffen Amtiskaw glowing red just behind her. She brought the yellow and brown device closer to her face. "Listen, Xenophobe -"

"Xeny."

"Xeny; you are a million-tonne starship; a Torturer class Rapid Offense Unit. Even -"

"But I'm demilitarized!"

"Even without your principle armament, I bet you could waste planets if you wanted to -"

"Aw, come on; any silly GCU can do that!"

And of course, a great many more of my favourite quotes can be found on the "quote-o-matic" on my website. (click "change" for a fresh quote.)

'"backslash" he said to the Emac. "$" the Emac responded, now ready and waiting for orders. "transport" he said and the Emac began to gabble silently translating the predefined macro spell into the words of power. "arg moira" He raised the staff high over his head as the air began to waver and twist around him. "EXE" he shouted.

And the world went dark.' - Wizard's Bane, Rick Cook

"Mineral planets are the best." during a massive overproduction of minerals and a rampaging shortage of the two other resources

"Beware of strange warp points!" right after placing minefields on all of them.

"All the beacons of our world are lit up in celebration!" during an energy crisis.

"We do not entirely trust you. This treaty can wait for now." while you're running PPP projects on all their planets

OK, I know, it's not exactly on topic, but I still thought it'd be fun to post them
