This is for any cool quotes from any source other than movies. It can be from a book, a TV show, something you heard somebody say, anything. I've been going through the archives of a webcomic and just found a quote that I feel an irresistable urge to pass on.
"If that's anything like a thermometer, it had better be oral!"

Quote that was actually made by me for my character I roleplay.
"I can't decide whether I should serve as an example to live by, or as a terrible warning to others."

Nice one, and a truly tough question.
From a side-version of the same comic as my above one:
"Well, it's been a lot of fun but I think it's time I logged off. The lines of text are starting to blur into dirty limericks and communist propaganda."
Am I the only person who has experienced a similar situation, but the text on the screen seemed like some weird stranger (possibly an alien) talking to me? If not, am I the only one that talked back?

I've always liked this Einstein quote:
"There are only two constants in life: the universe and stupid people, and I'm not so sure about the first one."

Can't remember where I heard this one, but I find it pretty inspirational at times.
"Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic."

"I saw Avatar in 3d before it came out in theaters. I rented two copies of Dances With Wolves, tilted a couple of TVs towards each other, and crossed my eyes."
A bit of an oversimplification of the plot (there are definitely common themes but are expressed differently), but I just thought that was too damn funny to not pass on. I'm now seriously tempted to try the thing with two TVs and crossing one's eyes.

"It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all f*cking doubt." lol that's a 'remix' of the original quote obviously.

"Release the...FLAMINGO OF DOOM!" "Say what?" "That is the second biggest flamingo I've ever seen."
"Need a little help?" "Are you offering?" "Look, I just don't want to lose to a giant flamingo, okay?"

"So everything we have depends on one extremely vulnerable unit. And we haven't veiled that unit, why?" "Because she believes it isn't her fate to die here." "In other words, she's crazy and nobody's brave enough to stand up to her...And yet, Jetstone hasn't attacked her yet. And that's because...? "Because...it wouldn't be noble." "Right, because the enemy is crazy too. Got it." "Indeed. As a sane man, you are badly outnumbered again, my good Lord. Perhaps you should defect, and join us all." Parson outlines his battle plan. "I see. Well! Bravo, Lord! 'Twas a splendidly speedy defection!"

"You saw Starship Troopers right? Remember the Arachnids? Those would be awesome! I'd kill to face those things. Instead I get the mutant versions Arachnids that spit acid. Oh and they are hive minded and in a cave filled with poisonous water."

Cassie: "You know those old martial arts movies from the eighties that they didn't bother dubbing and had really poorly translated subtitles? And how there's always a scene in a bar with an asian thug sitting at the end of the bar? That's where I've seen the sunglasses that Shoob always wears everywhere including inside."
Me: "I'll have you know that these are Calvin Kleins."
Cassie: "Oh? Then do they smell of Le Douche?"
At a KFC buffet in a little town in Indiana (the most perfect example of the word "podunk" that I have yet encountered) earlier today.
