"This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Well, it used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You're hypocrites, all of you! You have a problem with what I'm saying, Larry? [Larry shakes his head] Untie your tongue, and you come out here and talk, huh? Am I upsetting you, Princess? [Rita shakes her head]"-Bill Murray, Groundhog Day, in one of the funniest moments in the movie.

I also love this exchange between Phil and a drunk: "What would you do if you were stuck in one place, and everything that you did was the same, and nothing mattered?" "That about sums it up for me."

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmmm? Hmmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."-Yoda, of course.

Well, here are some of my favorite Star Wars qoutes:

"Run, Jedi, run. You're only delaying the inevitable." General Greivous

"Victory? Victory, you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the Dark Side has fallen. Begun, the Clone War has." Master Yoda
.......................................................................................................
Dooku, cringing, shrinking with dread, still finds some hope in his heart that he is wrong, that Palpatine has not betrayed him, that this has all been proceeding according to plan-

Until he hears "Good, Anakin! Good! I knew you could do it!" and registers that this is Palpatine's voice and feels within the darkest depths of all he is the approach of the words that are to come next.

"Kill him," Palpatine says. "Kill him now."

...................................................................................................

General Grievous: "This is your chance to surrender, General Kenobi! Pau City is in my grip; lay down your blade or I will squeeze...until this entire sinkhole brims over with innocent blood!"

Obi-Wan: "That's not what it's about to brim with. You should pay more attention to the weather."

Grievous: "What?"

Obi-Wan: "Have a look outside. It's about to start raining clones."

Words of wisdom from a Marx brother

Y'know, for the silent partner of that famous trio of the Marx Brothers, Harpo was surprisingly verbose. The following three quotes are all from his autobiography Harpo Speaks!, and are taken from the list of "house rules" followed by himself, his wife and their four kids.

"Life has been created for you to enjoy, but you won't enjoy it unless you pay for it with some good, hard work. This is one price that will never be marked down."

"If things get too much for you and you feel the whole's world's against you, go stand on your head." (this one is my absolute favorite)

"Don't worry about what other people think. The only person in the world important enough to conform to is yourself."

-Kim

"Cakes are done, people are finished." -my second-grade teacher

"What do you say about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat sh-t and die." ~ Hunter S. Thompson

"Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy ***** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. " ~ Tyler Durden, Fight Club
