“No fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought or feeling, can preserve a life beyond the grave; all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system; and the whole temple of man’s achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins.”

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, 'Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, 'Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.' And we...kill those people. 'Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok... But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."

"It's good to be paranoid. People need to be more paranoid. Case in point, JFK. If I had been JFK, I would've seen all three gunmen. I would've pulled out my concealed Luger and fired first. Man in book depository, boom! Grassy knoll, boom! Fake Jakie, boom! Then is shoot myslef, so I don't change history and create a paradox, boom! But right at the last minute I twist out of the way of the bullet. Nice try, history. Better luck next year." -Dwight Schrute

"Luke, I am your father"
That's actually almost always misquoted, the real quotation is:
"No. I am your father."
Finally, somebody who actually realizes this. Way to go vast majority of people I've seen try to quote Star Wars, it's 5 words.
"I was kind of excited about going to jail the first time and I learned some great dialogue."
"I've always thought my soundtracks do pretty good, because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home."

15. The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:
a. When they're ready.

26. If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in the combat zone.
37. Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing.

58. When in doubt, empty your magazine.
91. All-weather close air support doesn't work in bad weather.
136. When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not your friend.
