What is your favorite memorable line from a movie/novel?

[desertboi]

Another great movie line for me is, "gold jacket, green jacket, who gives a shit?" - Happy Gilmore

 

[gsdx]

"Goddammit, I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good!" - General Beringer, War Games

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" - President Merkin Muffley, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride

 

[teadrinker]

What gsdx said. Couldn't have chosen better movie lines. Oh, and:

"Hello, Houston, this is Odyssey. It's good to see you again." Apollo 13.

Most memorable?

 

[freefall]

"No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream." - Shirley Jackson in The Haunting of Hill House

Ah, I forgot about this passage. A downwardly unsettling opening passage for a novel - and surely the best ever written.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill house, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for 80 years and might for 80 more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
