"well there's nothing very special...
try to be nice to people
avoid eating fats
read a good book every now and then
get some walking in
and
try to live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations"
-- Michael Palin, closing soliloquy, Monty Python's Meaning of Life

"Korn Nuts!"
-- Heathers

"There are just as many notes as I require, Majesty: neither more nor less..."

"i won't forget you
i'm as strong as my love for you
real as your dreams

"I've known deception
how all lovers are liars
We're caught in a crossfire

But I'll hit the ground runnin'

'cause maybe a true love
is headed my way.
-- Victor Krummenacher, "Maybe a True Love," on Bittersweet
