Gen. Schnauzer: Your record shows you are just the type we need... Young, adventurous and a dare-devil... but cool under fire! You realize do you, that this is a dangerous business? And especiously so now!
Mickey Mouse: Yes sir! But I don't care! I like danger!
- The Mail Pilot

"Lissen! If ya do th' little things, th' big ones sorta take care o' themselves. Th' feler who keeps puttin' pennies in th' bank wakes up after awhile with a lot o' dollars!"
Mickey Mouse, The Crazy Crime Wave

Mickey: Somehow, I don't feel right- I mean, doin' under-cover work while Piper pays me! It seems sort of unfair!
Casey: Listen, Mickey! When you're workin' against criminals y' gotta beat 'em at their own game! Y' can't let little scruples stand in the way of a big public service!
- The Plumber's Helper

I like this exchange because it sums up Mickey and Casey's views so perfectly. Mickey seems to take the advice to heart, if his actions in "Outwits the Phantom Blot" are anything to go by.

"I hate to play burglar to get these cameras, but there's no other way! Anyhow, the money'll cover 'em until we can straighten it out later! The big thing is to stop that "Blot", no matter how-"
- Mickey Mouse, Outwits the Phantom Blot

Character development, right there. 'Size' comes up a lot in Mickey's philosophy; being a little guy, he seems to be stuck on the importance of the small things, like little scruples that are taken seriously in everyday life but get overshadowed in the face of big problems. Setting aside his little scruples to solve those big problems is always painful for him. He respects the little things too much to be comfortable about it.

I like poetry, more poems:

16 I have been a drop in a shower;
17 I have been a sword in the grasp of the hand
18 I have been a shield in battle.
19 I have been a string in a harp,
20 Disguised for nine years.
21 in water, in foam.
22 I have been sponge in the fire,
23 I have been wood in the covert.
24 I am not he who will not sing of
25 A combat though small,
26 The conflict in the battle of Godeu of sprigs.
-The Battle of the Trees

Which reminds me:

We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-runa runa runa rom!
To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars - we go to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come;
To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!
-Entish war march, The Lord of the Rings, "Treebead"

Cold be hand and heart and bone,
and cold be sleep under stone:
never more to wake on stony bed,
never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
In the black wind the stars shall die,
and still on gold here let them lie,
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land.
-Barrow-wight chant, The Lord of the Rings, "Fog on the Barrow-downs"

Key of Clow, Power of magic, power of light
Surrender the wand, the force ignite.
RELEASE!
-Sakura, Nelvana dub of Cardcaptor Sakura.

I call upon the power of my star.
Ancient forces near and far.
Clow card transform all your might
and draw your power from my light.
-Sakura, Nelvana dub of Cardcaptor Sakura.

In brightest Day, in Blackest Night
No evil shall escape my sight
let those who worship evil's might
fear my power Green Latern's Light.
-Green Lantern Oath.

In raging day, in fearful night
Our hearts a glow our souls ignite
when all seems lost in the war of light
look to the stars for hope burns bright.
-Blue Latern Oath.

I'd include the other Lantern oaths, but I can't remember the exact wording.

'To change one's life: 1. Start immediately. 2. Do it flamboyantly. 3. No exceptions.'- William James
“How poor, how rich, how abject, how august, how complicate, how wonderful is man! Distinguished link in being’s endless chain! Midway from nothing to the Deity! Dim miniature of greatness absolute! An heir of glory! A frail child of dust! Helpless immortal! Insect infinite! A worm! A God!” –Edward Young
"You're tense, I'm calm. You apply excessive force, I control that force through fluid motion. That means relaxing the whole body so that it could react instantly without resistance. You know, without thought. Do you see now? It means becoming like clear water.... Water can take any form. It drifts without effort one moment then pounds down in a torrent the very next." Bruce Lee Spike Spiegel, Waltz for Venus
"You can't have happiness without sadness they're like… cousins or something."- Space Dandy, A World With No Sadness, Baby

Pokemon yet again:
"There's no sense in going out of your way just to get somebody to like you."- Ash
"Because there is sadness, we cherish happiness. And because there is anger, kindness is born."- Cynthia, The Battle Finale of Legend! (she must have studied at the School of Dandy, explains why she's so hot)
“What I desire is to bring out the entirety in Pokémon potential! If I can accomplish that, I don't care what it takes! If it means the strength must be brought out by the interactions between Pokémon and Trainers, then so be it! If it means you have to use a merciless approach, like Team Plasma's, and force out all of the Pokémon's power, then so be it! And yes, if the entire world is destroyed as a result, then so be it..." Colress

Some of these might be paraphrased:

"My name is Watanabe Eriko. I'm an upcoming Nobel prize laureate, and reality is my *****"
"Holy crap on an authority figure's plate."
"Screw the philosopher's stone; I have matter generation."
"Just because I'm human doesn't mean I have to be stupid about it"
-Eriko Watanabe aka Soul, Saga of Soul.

Edit: another gem from the lips of Eriko:
"...But first, I'm going to unleash astronomical amounts of pwnage onto you, because I'm the Junior Goddess of Kick Your Ass!"

In general, Eriko is pretty good at delivering awesome one-liners if I do say so myself.

Pokemon quote of the day:

Ash: You know, we’ve done a lot at camp, and when I’m battling I’ll be able to use it all.
Serena: Wow, even the fishing contest? That’s going to help you battle too?
Ash: Yeah, you bet! Nothing we ever do is a waste of time. Everything on our journey leads to the Kalos League, that’s why the more stuff we do, the better!
Serena: You’re always doing your best... and you’ve done so much.
Ash: But I’m not done yet. After all, I’ve gotta make my dream come true.
Serena: And that dream is?
Ash: To become a Pokemon Master!
Serena: Of course! You really are an amazing person!
Ash: Hhh?
Serena: -Eeeheheh, let me get some more water...
Ash: Thanks.
*significant pause*
Serena: A dream... having a dream.
Ash: Serena, are you okay?
Serena: Sometimes I wonder.... what is my dream, Ash? What is it that I want?
Ash: Don’t worry, you’ve got lots of time to figure out your dream.
*Pikachu and Fennekin get their trainers’ attention*
Serena: Fennekin!
Ash: I bet you’ll find your dream with Fennekin!
Serena: I’ll find my dream with my Pokemon...
---
Serena: The idea for using PokePuffs in our video came from what we went through today.
Shauna: Huh? No joke?
Serena: Nope. Today, Ash said there’s nothing we can ever do that’s a waste of time.
Shauna: Heheh, that Ash is a pretty smart guy.
-Day Three Blockbusters!

Ash is a pretty smart guy.
Let that sink in.

Negima quotes:

Negi: *eyes glazed over, approaching slowly from the smoking remains of nudified mages' clothes*
Hehehehehe <3 I'm coming... Nodoka-san <3
Asuna: OH MY GOD, IT'S THE KISSING TERMINATOR! D8
Nodoka: I don't want to be kissed by him in such a rough way...
Asuna: What will happen!?
Nodoka: DEATH!?

Asuna: Is it really a time machine?
Chamo: That's not right Ane-san, like I said, it's science, not magic...
Asuna: I.. I... I want to go to America during the industrial revolution <3
Setsuna: Why do you want to go to that time period? -.-'
Konoka: It's because there were a lot of handsome, old men back then.
Negi: Oh! ^^;
Chamo: Also, the manual says that the time machine can only take a person back 24 hours using their magic.
Asuna: Eh... that short? That's no fun.
Negi: I can't go to the dinosaur age...

Evangeline: Speaking of which, you're holding an interesting item.
ChachaZero: There's lots of people- I want to kill some people-
Negi: Oh... No- this is...
Evangeline: Hiding it makes it more suspicious. I feel that there's something powerful inside. Hurry up and hand it over. What's the matter? I won't take advantage of it...
ChachaZero: Your stuff is Master's stuff. And Master's stuff is Master's stuff.

Evangeline: That's exactly it, boy.
ChachaZero: Oho <3
Evangeline: If you look with a lucid eye, you will realize that 'being alive' means the same thing as 'doing evil'. This is how the world is structured, no one can escape from this law. 'Evil', be sure, is the truth of the world. Were you finally able to reach that recognition?

From the most recent chapter of Pact:

[quote=Evan]Holy Angel Poop we're dead outnumbered![/quote]

For extra comedic value, I think it worth noting the one angel that is part of Pact's named cast is a familiar whose mortal form is that of an Afghan dog.

Pokemon quotes never cease:
May: Mmmm- ahhh, that smells great!
Max: What smells great? The air pollution, garbage, or car exhaust?
May: No, Max, it's the wonderful scent of the big city!
---
May: Like they say: you can take the girl out of the city, but you can’t take the city out of the girl, now can you!
Taming of the Shroomish

Ash: Alright, you're gonna have to go ahead without us May.
May: Hh!?
Ash: Don't worry, I can take care of Max. The three of us can catch the ferry tomarrow and be there to root for you! The Contest starts in the morning, if you're not there tonight you won't be able to compete.
May: Yeah but-
Ash: *taking May by the shoulders* This has been your dream. Pacifidlog is the last Contest and your last chance to get into the Grand Festival, right?
May: Yeah...
Ash: Then you really oughta go for it!
May: I want to... but I'm not going to.
Ash: But why not?! There isn't going to be another Grand Festival for a whole 'nother year!
May: And believe me, I wanna be there more than anything... but still, there are some things that are more important than what I want.
Date Expectations
The shift from May's original, somewhat selfish and dismissive attitude towards her brother to the caring older sister of later episodes has always struck me as a forgotten aspect of her character development. Maybe more fans will recognize it now in retrospect given how different the relationship between Clemont and Bonnie is in comparison.

"Willy, it's been a long night. Full of fun. But I'm getting bored. And when I get bored I kill things."- Bullseye, Daredevil #172 'GangWar'

"The Kingpin! I've heard tales of this man, this near-legend in the history of crime.... of how he gathered the hundreds of disorganized, distrustful gangleaders... of how he ended their territorial battles, and taught them to work in tandem...... of how he forged a structured, multi-billion dollar criminal empire- an empire ruled with a tyrant's discipline, and a book-keeper's precision. I've heard tales of his genius... his power....... but no one ever told me just how big he is!"- Matt Murdock, Daredevil #171 'In the Kingpin's Clutches'

"Well! Just try and stop us, you self-proclaimed normal people!"- The Major, Hellsing Ultimate

"You're so slow. In the time it took you to walk down one little hallway, I went all the way to London, got my head blown off, and made it back. Perhaps you should start thinking about going on a diet, mein Major."- Schrödinger, Hellsing Ultimate
Personally I think overweight evil geniuses deserve more respect. But maybe I'm biased in that regard.

I wish I wrote down everything Eggman says in Sonic Boom. Then I could post it here :I

In the mean time, I always have Pokemon quotes:
Ash: But don’t let your guard down for a second when you battle against Paul- he’s really good.
Barry: Something happened between you too.
*it wasn’t a question*
Ash: We had a full battle.
Barry: HUH!? You battled him? Come on, no fair man!
Ash: I lost big. What a wipe out!
Barry: How are you able to smile and say that?!
Ash: We’ve got a lot of history, but that full battle showed me a bunch about myself- like, I didn’t have a whole lot of skills he had!
Barry: ....
Ash: But we’re winnin’ next time! Right Pikachu?
*Pika-chu!*
Fighting Ire With Fire
"If you wanna improve, you can never be satisfied with where you are now.”- Zoey, A Stand-Up Sit-Down!
“Come on, Ash! The match-up’s not as important as THE WILL TO WIN!”- Morrison, Shocks and Bonds
“Real trainers cream their opponents with SPIRIT, forget all that advantage stuff!”- Morrison, At the End of the Fray

"Why don't you tell me you can do these things you do!?"- Steven Universe
"Fool! What part of "our planet exploded" don't you understand!?"- Vegeta, Dragon Ball Z
"I feel I was denied... critical... need-to-know... information!"- Burt Gummer, Tremors II: Aftershocks
"Remember, anything is possible... if it happens."- Oxnard Montalvo, Angry Beavers

Have I ever shared my love of L. Frank Baum?

"Yet every man has his mission, which is to leave the world better, in some way, than he found it."

"It is true that great warriors and mighty kings and clever scholars of that day were often spoken of by the people; but no one of them was so greatly beloved as Santa Claus, because none other was so unselfish as to devote himself to making others happy. For a generous deed lives longer than a great battle or a king's decree or a scholar's essay, because it spreads and leaves its mark on all nature and endures through many generations."

"In all this world there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child."
- The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

"The Prince had listened with attention. Said he:
"This child, who is from the crust of the earth, like yourself, called you a Wizard. Is not a Wizard something like a Sorcerer?"
"It's better," replied Oz, promptly. "One Wizard is worth three Sorcerers."

"Never mind your hunger," interrupted the Prince. "I shall order you destroyed in a few minutes, so you will have no need to ruin our pretty melon vines and berry bushes. Follow me, please, to meet your doom."
- Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz


“The past is another country. They do things differently there.
... but we need not fear the past. It is the future we must fear."
- Hamato Splinter, “The Big Brawl” Part One
“I find comfort in believing that there’s some kind of controlling order...
a sense to all this... instead of life just being a stream of chaos.
But that’s the leader in me."
- Hamato Leonardo, TMNT Vol. 2, #2


And there's always Pokemon:
"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."- Mewtwo

Brock: Do you remember Ash? He's a friend of mine who once beat my Onix with his Pikachu, an Electric type Pokemon.
Flint: Wow, how did he do that?
Brock: Ash is an amazing trainer and he taught me a lot! He taught me that no matter what kind of battle field you're on or what kind of opponent you're fighting there is always a way to win- so if you want to go on calling yourself a Gym Leader, stand up for yourself and make us proud!
- A Family That Battles Together Stays Together

Brock: Ash is really getting pumped up, you know what that's about...
Ash: THIS IS HOW YOU TOSS IT!
- Teaching the Student Teacher

Warning: The following quote contains quite foul language by British Standards that most Americans won't realize is foul.

This isn't even a bloody miscarriage of bloody justice, it's a bloody contraception of bloody justice.

"All of this time, I've battled side-by-side with my Pokemon, my friends. Trainin' hard together, cheering each other on, and we've won eight badges. That's it. All I have to do is believe in my Pokemon, that's my battle strategy. It's always been that way, and it always will be."- Ash, Leauge Unleashed

Ash: I've given it a ton of thought, and I've got the whole thing figured out! Man does this remind me of Lake Acuity! Paul and his Pokemon were so strong... So ever since our full battle, I've been thinkin' about how Paul got that way.
Barry: So, how did Paul do it?
Ash: Paul takes everything he's ever experienced and uses it to get stronger.
Barry: Yeah, tell me something I don't know...
Brock: The point is, it's a lot easier said than done.
Barry: Hmmm, okay, but turning experience into strength applies to you too, doesn't it?
Ash: Yeah, but it's gotten me thinkin'. If I'm wondering about everything Paul's been through to get stronger, then I need to look at what I've been through to get stronger too.
Barry: Sooo, did you figure it out yet?
Ash: *chuckle* Hey, you'll see soon as I'm out there battling Paul, right Pikachu and Gliscour?
*they answer affirmatively*
Barry: ASH IF YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP ME HANGING LIKE THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FINE YOU BIG TIME!!
- Familiarity Breeds Strategy
I like how this hooks into a lot of what Ash says to Serena in the quote from 'Day Three Blockbusters' futher up the page. Serena's character arc echos a great deal of things brought up in the final episodes of DP, and I'm pretty sure it's intentional. Also I miss Barry now :(

Paul: He talks just like my brother. 'Friends', 'trust'- my brother says those things all the time too.
Dawn: But Paul, Ash isn't Reggie. Ash is Ash, and that's that.
Barry: Paul!
*the boys show up, Dawn sqeaks and jumps from Paul's side to stand behind Ash*
Barry: I see what you were trying to do! Find out what Pokemon Paul plans on using in his match with Ash, right?
Dawn: *glares at him* No. Wro-ng.
Ash: Cynthia's going to be watching, Paul! Let's make it a great battle!
Pikachu: Pika pika!
Paul: *walking away* I plan to.
Dawn: I remember... 'when every life meets another life, something will be born'.
*Paul halts for a moment, then leaves*
- also from Familiarity Breeds Strategy

Paul: I purposely let you take out Aggron and Gastrodon so I could be certain of your strategy and exactly which Pokemon you'd use.
Ash: Purposely?
Paul: Ever since I brought out Drapion, I've been able to predict every one of your moves.
Ash: ..... *amused*Hmm!
Paul: Huh?
Ash: Paul, there's nobody like you. That's why.... *pulls out Infernape's Pokeball* I'm gonna win this!
-Infernape destroys Drapion's toxic spikes, turning the tables-
Brock: When it comes to controlling the battlefield, Ash really knows what he's doing. Paul can try to shake him up all he wants, but Ash is Ash!
- A Real Rival Rouser

"When every life meets another life, something will be born.... Paul and Ash.... someday soon, they'll both be entering the Champion League. And how I look forward to that day."- Cynthia, The Semi-Final Frontier

TV Announcer: [Flint's] Infernape is dooowwwn! Unable to take out Cynthia's Garchomp after defeating two of her Pokemon! So, once again, Cynthia defends her title as Champion Master and remains on her throne! Can anyone beat her?!
Ash: Yeah! I can!
Dawn: *looking at him like he grew a second head* That came out of nowhere.
Ash: No way Dawn, it's always on my mind! Someday, somehow, I'm gonna win the Champion League and become Champion Master!
Pikachu: Pika, pika pika?
Ash: You're right, and of course that means I'll finally be a Pokemon Master!
*Pikaa~chu*
Dawn: Awesome, your big dream!
- Memories are Made of Bliss

DP sure loved to play around with Arc Words. That scene where Ash stares fixated at the tv while imagining he was fighting Cynthia in Flint's place always seemed pretty prophetic (if nothing else it's epic RayShipping fuel). This will always be my favorite era of the show.

Kinda wonder what it would be like if all the younger siblings- Misty, Max, and Bonnie- met up for one episode.

Don't know if I ever shared my favorite Sonic quotes from other media.

"Don't let the fact that I constantly try to destroy you lead you to believe I'm here to destroy you."- Dr. Eggman, Sonic Boom

"Happiness is so much more enjoyable when it's based on the misery of millions."- Dr. Robotnik, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog

"What do you mean? Once Metal Sonic destroys the Land of the Sky, we'll be the only ones left! Then we'll get married and spend the rest of our happy lives together!"- Dr. Eggman, Sonic: The Movie

"Then that means... the protagonist of this anime... will soon change to me."- Dr. Eggman, Sonic X

"Wise words, spike ball! Why destroy Mobius? It would be like breaking my favourite toy!"- Dr. Robotnik, Sonic the Comic

"Sonic… This impertinent, this contrary hedgehog; he hopes that my larger projects are always annihilated. But this time, the strength that resides in my intellect will crush him! Ha ha ha ha..."- Dr. Eggman, Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog manual

“One layer was certainly seventeenth century. The eighteenth century in him is obvious.

Re: Memorable quotes from stuff besides video games

The following scene came from a recent chapter of Twig by Wildbo(and I can't recommend the guy's work enough):

The girls emerged, radiant in white, Mary with her hair done up in a slightly different style, two thin braids reaching behind her head, where they met and were tied into place with a ribbon, trailing down at the back. The rest of her hair was brushed straight. She was smiling in a way I hadn’t expected. Whatever magic Helen had worked, this was above and beyond. Mary looked like an entirely different person, from an emotional standpoint.

“Looks nice,” I said.

She leaned close to Jamie and I, smiling all the while as she whispered, “We figured out how to hide knives in there. Can you even see them?”

“No,” I said, as Jamie shook his head.

“You would not believe how many weapons I’m carrying right now,” she said, smiling like the cat with the canary.

Jamie and I glanced at each other. I knew we were thinking the same thing, an echo of our earlier conversation.

Girls are scary.


And later that chapter, Helen gives us this gem:
“His panic agitated the experiment,” Helen said. “The experiment agitated his insides with her hands.”

And in today's installment of Twig, we get the following from Lillian:
“I’m not claustrophobic,” Lillian cut him off. “I’m phobic of this, whatever the phobia is for being trapped in a dungeon with dangerous experiments and sterilization procedures!”

To help put things in prospective:
The core cast are a group of orphans, all of whom have undergone some kind of modification by the settings local mad scientists and serve as intelligence gathering and secret police for the Academy that oversees the local licensed mad scientists.
The pov character is Sylvester who is a master manipulator and has a crush on Mary.
Jamie is Sy's best friend and possesses a photographic memory
Helen is an artificially created human with super strength, extreme durability, and is a perfect actress and a perfect stoic when not acting.
Mary is a clone of a prep school girl created to replace her original with the ultimate mission of assassinating her original's family. Is good with knives and poisons. Wastakaen by the Protagonists after they killed her fellow clones and sent her creator on the run.
Lillian is a young academy student assigned to be the groups field medic, but is an ordinary girl aside from being a natural academic prodigy.

^Your contextualization for your quote is always longer than the quote itself :P

"It's a pity that it also cleanses out your proportions. But look at your skin! It's gorgeous, I'm jealous!"- Kalifa, One Piece

"Whoa! She's so sexy! If she were my secretary, I'd be one happy- wait, I'm not a guy!"- Nami, One Piece

"God may have created food, but the devil created spices. If you thought that kick was hot, my heart was burning even hotter."- Sanji, One Piece

"It's true, I'm slipping. I used to lie a lot more often...... Now, I can actually do these things!"- MANsopp, One Piece

Pokemon quotes from 'The Bicker the Better':

Ash: YOU ARE SO SLOW!
*Ash tries to drag May out the door, she sees herself in the mirror and halts*
May: Heeey~ *preening* ...oooh... good! Okay, I'm ready to go!
Ash: Common, watta ya doin'?
May: Hey, where there's a mirror around you need to stop and look.
Ash: I don't!
May: What? You never check your clothes or your hair?
Ash: No way!
*May covers her mouth and stares at him like he admitted to murder*
May: Hnnh... unbelievable!
Ash: Excuse me! I'm not a girl, May!
May: You're so yesterday! Men also happen to have some fashion sense these days...
Ash: Fine! I'll think about it! CAN WE GET GOING NOW?!?

May: Incredible. Raising your voice to a girl just because she's looking in the mirror!
Ash: Talk about nerve, stand around gazing at yourself while your friends are all waiting...
May: What did you say!?
Ash: You heard me!
May: Wanna know what your problem is?!
Ash: I already know!
Max: Is it just me, or have they been fighting all day?
Brock: All. Day.

Oscar: Seeing how much in love you two appear to be-
Andi: -we thought we'd offer you a challenge.
Ash and May: Us... in love?
*they look away from each other swiftly*
Ash: Huh, that's a laugh!
May: Hardy har har!
Oscar: Hmm hmm hmm! *Sonic-esque finger wag* That's what young love birds always say!
Andi: And fighting's the first sign of love!
Oscar: It's pretty obvious you two were in the middle of a fight, right?
Andi: That means-
Oscar and Andi: You two are in love!
Ash and May: I don't think so!
Oscar and Andi: Told you! You answered together!

Curious how the episode that contains the most fuel for shipping Ash with May has the two arguing a lot like Ash used to with Misty- and retroactively confirming that all of said arguing counts as ship tease. Not that there was any doubt.

"Let's blow these whining women back to the Dark Ages where they belong!"- James; potential evidence that James is gay, exibit 43

Jessie: How many times have I saved your backside?!
James: MY BACKSIDE IS PEACHY KEEN THANK YOU! BUT SINCE YOU FELT LIKE YOU HAD TO BRING THAT UP-
Jessie: Oh, what? If you've got something to say, SAY IT!
James: The truth might be hazardous to my health!
potential evidence for Rocketshipping, exibit 69

This exchange is immediately followed by Jessie straddling James' torso from behind and trying to force his arms over his head...
