"Fine then. Use your second sight on me. I don't see anything wrong with the way I live my life, so you tell me why I should be concerned." "I only came here to talk to you but...All right." *pause* "You're going to choke to death on your own vomit." "God dammit. Randy was right."
Taz Modara and Dominic Deegan, Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire. Taz is the drummer in Dominic's brother's heavy metal band (Randy is their bass player). Dominic also later tells his girlfriend, as she's leavng to see the band's show, "and tell Taz that he's the worst elf ever."

"While we're on the subject, does anybody else think Cupid is a jerk? He just flies around and shoots arrows at people to make them fall in love. I don't give him credit for the couples that last, oh no. Whenever I see two people who just don't work as a couple together, I blame that little weirdo."
-Dan Shive, in the blog attached to the comic, El Goonish Shive, referring to the idea of magic inducing love in fantasy settings.

And now upon each dark mooned night, with eyes ablaze though they never give light, riding horseback with her sword blade bright, goes the form of the Black Jack's Lady!
So lock your doors inside you stay, young men best keep out 'o her way, 'cause there's none that can stop her sword they say, or the ride of the Black Jack's Lady!
She rides o'er hill and rides o'er dale, with silver sword and her stallion pale, on the winds you can hear the banshee wail, 'tis the cry of the Black Jack's Lady!
Young men best be strong and true, be faithful in the loving you do, or else let gods have pity on you, if you meet with the Black Jack's Lady!
Heather Alexander, "Black Jack's Lady." The whole song is about what happens when a gypsy version of Don Juan picks up and dumps a redhead...she doesn't take it lightly.

"Today I know what death is. Why do I know what death is, Kaladin?"
Later...
"Yes, that was sarcasm."*cocks head*"I know what sarcasm is."*suddenly grins deviously*"I know what sarcasm is!"
Slyphrena, The Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson. Syl is (more or less) an incorporeal fairy that is still developing self awareness, stands about four inches tall, walks around in midair, and is usually only visible to one character. Most people think he's crazy and just talking to himself when he's actually having a conversation with her. She also saved his life with a leaf, once. It sounds corny, but this book is rated at 71 on NPR's top 100 sci-fi and fantasy books of all time (another work by the same author is ranked at 43).

"When you’re mad, ask yourself: am I so mad that I want to smash a weasel with a hammer? Because you’re probably not actually that mad."
Kyle Marquis, author/artist of the webcomic "The Water Phoenix King" in his blog after a page in which a giant weasel saved a wyrd (the setting's equivalent to elves) nobleman by jumping on top of him when a magical space chick suffering a PTSD induced rage episode and assaulting said nobleman with a magical warhammer that she summoned from thin air (it makes perfect sense in context, honest).
Also...
"Release the war weasel!" *war weasel bloodily mauls its handler as soon as it's released* "Why do we even have a war weasel?"
Random villainous goon earlier in the story. Yes, it's the same weasel. The aforementioned nobleman's warrior son is one of the heroes and adopts it on the spot.
