Because what's more fun than random quotes? Seriously, this kind of thread (posting random quotes) is one of my favorites. In one of the forums I'm on, we have over 150 pages.
"Twigs," [Valentin] said gravely; "Twigs and a total stranger with his head cut off; that is all there is on this lawn."

this is a quote from the book im reading for school: THE LION IS WAKING...OWIMOWEH!(he pulls his shirt open and leaps up on the table and gestures with his spear) (On the table, very far gone, his eyes pure glass sheets. He sees what we cannot, that he is the leader of his people, a great chief, a descendent of Chaka and that the hour to march has come) -Listen, my black brothers- ....i just find that quote...very...interesting...

"There's nothing like eating hay when you feel faint." "I should think smelling salts would be better." "I didn't say there was nothing better! I only said there was nothing like it." -ad-libbed Through the Looking Glass
...the quality of my analogies is dropping like a broken elevator... [thedarklord666] "Yes, I quite agree about the quality of your analogies." [hbpmaster]
...I need to attend two more meetings of Parentheses Overusers Anonymous. [The E-Journal of an Evil Janitor]
...find a way to once and for all obliterate Harry Potter and repugnant run-on sentences such as this one... [The Dark Lord's Blog]
"...so we're all men of our words, except for Elizabeth, who is, in fact, a woman." -Cap'n Jack Sparrow.
"I tripped on my abbot, Father Habit--oh dear, I mean--" -Matthias
...why did I come so close to revealing something that quite obviously should never be posted on the internet for any Tom (that’s me), DlCK (don’t know any), or Harry (the brat) to read and learn? [thedarklord666] -The Dark Lord's Blog
Noticing his mother standing at the door, he scrunched up his nose and rubbed its bridge. To his wife, he inquired, "If the woman thinks I'm filthy, then why the bloody heck does she want my drinking glasses?" "So that you die of dehydration, I expect, though most sensible people would have come up with a better plan." the red-headed woman replied, shrugging her shoulders. "Amelnda never was sensible." (A snippet of HP fanfiction I was writing.)
"Lackaday, Eat Miz Rosie! Lackaday, Eat Miz Rosie!" --Figgs, The Bellmaker
...you can substitute the words "expert treasure hunter if you like"- (I think this is actually found in) The Hobbit
For people allergic to wool, one's heart can only bleed.
Really, all you need to become a good knitter are wool, needles, hands, and slightly below-average intelligence. Of course, superior intelligence, such as yours and mine, is an advantage.
Knit on, with confidence and hope, through all crises.
Soft wool from the simple silly sheep can be as fine as a cobweb, tough and strong as string, or light and soft as down... Woolen socks never become cold and clammy, however wet. -all from the late, great, Elizabeth Zimmermann (obviously I would like these quote)
"They roused him with jam and judicious advice/they set him conundrums to guess" -The Hunting of the Snark
ETA: Oh, darn. The censoring device has turned the saying "Tom, DlCK, and Harry" into "Tom, thingy, and Harry." Which wasn't Schmergo's Voldy's point.

I am going to nickname one of my new classmates Hamlet.
Hamlet: *standing on ladder* To be, or not to be...
Mouse: That is the question.
after lunch....
Mouse: (to Hamlet) Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
Hamlet: What's that supposed to mean?
Mouse: You were quoting Shakespeare, so I quoted Shakespeare back at you.
Hamlet: Okay...
Mouse: What fools these mortals be! It's from A Midsummer Nights Dream.
in history classroom...
Hamlet: Mouse* said it's Shakespeare. To be or not to be, that is the question. Friends, something, countrymen, lend my your ears. And what was that you said about nine streams?
Mouse: You mean "mortals be?" What fools these mortals be?
Hamlet: Okay.
D(who's a girl): And she said that is the question
Hamlet: *stands on chair* To be or not to be--

MARK Dude, this is so wrong. MOM Don’t say “dude.” Meanwhile, back at the palace, another two brothers aren’t getting along. In fact, the younger duke has usurped his older brother… MARK Does that mean he ate him? MOM Where do you get these horrible ideas? It means he took over his crown. But the older brother’s daughter, Rosalind, stayed at the palace with her good friend and cousin Celia, which is where we find them in this scene.

Other friend- no because people go in the dog park too!

Me- What are you....
other friiends- NOTHING!

Krylenko (Soviet comissar of justice): "We must once and for all put an end to neutrality in chess. We must condemn once and for all the formula 'chess for chess's sake,' just as we do 'art for art's sake.' We must organize shock units of chess players and imeediately begin to fulfill a five-year plan for chess."
"As a British humorist once said, there are three kinds of lies: a lie, a barefaced lie, and statistics. He wsa unaware of a fourth kind, Stalinist statistics, and a fifth, the Stalinist lie...In a popular Moscow anecdote of the period a tourist guide at a zoo poins to a crocodile recently brought to the capital and explains that from tail to head it is five meteres long but from head to tail it is six. 'How could that be?' asks a tourist. 'You don't believe it? Measure it yourself,' the guide answers. 'You'll see.' Stalin had roughly the same answer for anyone who wanted to check his figures." -Mikhail Heller, Chapter 4: The Great Ruptures, 1929-1934
Boris Pilnyak:
As quoted in Utopia in Power: The history of the Soviet Union from 1917 to the 'Present' (published in 1985)

Person at lunch table: *looking at cookie ingredients* Uh, I think I just ate cow poop...
table occupants: What?
person: It says... molasses?
Hamlet: I think you're thinking of manure. Molasses is a type of syrup, isn't it?
Mouse: Yes...
(and, no really, I don't mean to make fun of my friend. Her error was just funny.)
Mouse(to her World civ teacher): Does the phrase "I took shelter in a dilapidated elephant" mean anything to you?
Mouse: (in CBox, towards Schmergo) Do YOU look like Bertrand Russell?
Random fanfic(if I remember correctly) "Fish, sushi, and mollification!"... Tom Riddle stared dubiously at the young girl... "What sort of person uses Marks Knife Edge shears as a portkey, anyway?"
