Best to move it because we already have a movie quotes thread somewhere.
Perhaps my favourite quote of all time, one I try to live by:
“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.”
~ Oscar Wilde
And while we're at it, some more gems from the greatest Brit who ever lived (who, like most great Brits, is actually foreign):
“America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.” ~ Oscar Wilde
“A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.” ~ Oscar Wilde
"Everything popular is wrong" ~ Oscar Wilde
And then there's that awesome Jonathan Swift quote that Run DMB posted a little while back:
“When a true genius appears in this world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.” ~ Jonathan Swift
I'll post some more if this thread catches on. If it doesnt, I'll join the bandwagon abusing it.

good thread, I'll start with Bill Hicks inevitably:
"When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? I want my children to listen to people who f*cking rocked. I don't care if they died in puddles of their own vomit. I want someone who plays from his f*cking heart.[...]I want my rock stars dead! I want them to f*cking play with one hand and put a gun in their other f*cking hand and go "I hope you enjoyed the show!" (gun-fire noise)
...I am available for children's parties by the way"

Nice Churchill quote

~ John Stuart Mill
"One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important."
~ Bertrand Russell
And one of the most important of all...
"I would never die for my beliefs, because I might be wrong."
