I have taken to bookmarking quotes, if it sticks out, I mark it.

Douglas Coupland(Elanor Rigby) :

Jeremy asked me if I liked my work.

"I think big companies are like marching bands. You know the big secret about marching bands, dont you?"

"No, what is it?"

"Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built right in to them. It's like the piano, as long as you only play the black keys, not the white ones, it'll sound okay, but on the other hand it'll never sound like real music either"

"How's your omelette"

Arcade Panda

People like it when you tell them things, in suitable portions, in a modest, intimate tone, and they think they know you, but they do not, they know about you, for what they are let in on are facts, not feelings, not what your opinion is about anything at all, not how what has happened to you and how all the decisions you have made have turned you into who you are. What they do is they fill in with their own feelings and opinions and assumptions, and they compose a new life which has precious little to do with yours, and that lets you off the hook. No-one can touch you unless you yourself want them to.

It's from the book I'm reading at the moment, Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson.

When it comes to Glee, there is one quote that reigns supreme over them all. One of my favourite lines from any TV show ever:

"I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And then on some dark cold night, I’ll steal away into your home and punch you in the face. " - Sue Sylvester.

Goddamnit, that's a blatant rip off of a super similar quote I heard ages ago.
But I can't remember where it's from, so can't prove it.
