Favorite Quotes Thread

Since my previous signature has outgrown its limits, I will compile my Favorite Quotes here and the signature can link to this post. Other users can do likewise, making a single Favorite Quotes thread for the board; hopefully this is all cool.

"But it's my sworn duty to seduce female bad guys. It's like in the bard charter or something." - Elan, to Haley

"I rest easy knowing that your revenge requires you to first outsmart someone's mount." - Vaarsuvius, to Belkar

You know, I'd really like to contribute to this thread but it kind of reminds me of that one thing someone once said concerning a book with the best lines from Pratchett's works: (paraphrased) 'I didn't know there was a bookshelf that could hold a compilation of everything he's ever written.'
In case I haven't made my point... OotS is so full of awesome lines I'd feel unable to pick any specific ones. But I'll gladly see what you guys have to say.

ORione · 06-11-2011, 10:27 AM

Kato's right, there's too much awesome in OotS. We'd go over the fifty page limit.
That being said, here are a couple of my favorites:

And once again, Probability proves itself willing to sneak into a back alley and service Drama as would a copper-piece harlot.
- Vaarsuvius, strip 584.

The blood of angels will flow like rivers, and we will gather around great dispensers of it to discuss the previous evening's televised entertainment.
- Cedrik, strip 633.

I may post more later.

I think I said that. So I suppose I agree.

How much crap do we go through on a daily basis because no one at TSR looked up "level" in the thesaurus?

Cizak · 06-11-2011, 03:23 PM

Guess what quote I thought about before clicking this thread?

Laeranu · 06-11-2011, 04:00 PM

I know exactly what im going to pick (though I dont know if it classes as a quote)

I cant be bothered to write it so basically everything from episode #3

Gift Jeraff · 06-11-2011, 04:01 PM

not nale, not-nale. thog help nail not-nale, not nale. and thog knot not-nale while nale nail not-nale. nale, not not-nale, now nail not-nale by leaving not-nale, not nale, in jail.

So, Uncle Xykon, what's the moral of the story? A big pile of spells isn't enough when the other guy has a big pile of spells AND the strength to crush your windpipe with his bare phlanges. And they died happily ever after. The End.

And from the pamphlet in War and XPs:

The bit with the Vaporising Flu.
"Is it contagious?"
"Yes, but oddly only if you stand around in places where a previous victim has died and ask questions."

Guard: So... pleading insanity, then?

what is offal?

Your approval fills me with shame.

I think I just had an evilgasm.

I AM A SEXY SHOELESS GOD OF WAR!!! (even more epic the 2nd time around)

Solve a man's problems with violence, help him for a day. Teach a man to solve his problems with violence, help him for a lifetime.

...and many, many more.

ORione · 06-13-2011, 10:32 AM

Ooh, here's another one.

Nature abhors a tattletale, imp.
-Kubota, Strip 562

I've been using that IRL, minus the imp part.

Lesingnon · 06-13-2011, 11:25 AM

My three absolute favorites have to be...

"You know what does equal power? Power. Power equals power. Crazy, huh? But the type of power? Doesn't matter as much as you think."

"If I ever see you with more eyes than *******s, I'm going to shove one in the other and give your cloak to that hobgoblin."

And "That's the beauty of it all, my son. If I win, I get to be a king. If I lose, I get to be a legend."

All along with the rest of the rants/speeches they're a part of, of course. And then they're followed by far, far too many other favorites for me to ever begin to list.

Dakaran · 06-13-2011, 11:44 AM

I don't know if it's my favorite quote, but I just read this one again today and I burst out laughing:

Belkar in response to Haley destroying the Fear and Flame skull in 469:

"Easy for you to say, you probably already have a dozen sentient beings that you can take a dump in! I don't get anything nice!"

Raistlin82 · 06-13-2011, 02:06 PM

There's also a huge lot of V quotes that unfortunately are way too complicated to remember...

Adicted To · 06-13-2011, 04:35 PM

"What gate?"

"Minions minions, Lord Xykon has it all under control."

Tharquin: "There every move makes my victory more complete."

Heh, yeah. Any time Tarquin's face is full of evil glee, awesomeness spills out.

"SMITE.... EVIL!!!!"
-- O-Chul

Heck, the entire O-Chul/MITD sequence, really.

Gwynfrid · 06-13-2011, 10:44 PM

From time to time a thread like this comes up, and every time the first thing that comes to mind is different. That comes to show that there are way too many awesome quotes to list them all.

A possible place to start would be the T-shirt shop. Every one of those is great.

My favorite for today would be this:

"I can't help but notice that your sense of team spirit is inversely proportional to your number of functioning appendages, sir."

Sweet Starshine · 06-14-2011, 02:48 PM

"How was I suppose to know he ain't a playa."
"Never say player again."
-Elan and Belkar
"SNEAK ATTACK BITCH!"
-Haley
"Wooooo! I'm invisible, you can't see me!"
"How I wish that were true."
-Elan and Roy
"I love bat guano in the morning. It smells like victory."
-V
"For the humble doily is the gateway to ULTIMATE COSMIC POWER!"
-V
"I thought he was you! I'm in love with you, and I thought I was kissing you!"
-Haley
"Nah, I was screwing with you. It's been about a hour tops."
-Nale
(That's all I can think of at the moment. >.<)

Adicted To · 06-15-2011, 07:16 AM

"sacrificing minions: is there any problem it CAN'T solve?"

I loved that one.

"Hey, look, I just regenerated a finger. Guess which one."

Also perfect in it's context.

Antonok · 06-15-2011, 07:40 AM

"Geez, they can research 9th level spells that stop time, but they can't put a dimmer switch on the sun?" - Belkar

"Now if you don't mind, I am somewhat busy telling the laws of physics to shut up and sit down!" - V

Those are a couple of my more favorite ones.

Goosefarble · 06-15-2011, 08:10 AM

: Mr. Stiffly! MR. STIFFLY! O-CHUL!!

Gives me goosebumps. Fittingly.

Ooo, I totally agree. I was just re-reading through that section of comics the other day and that really does just have an epic feeling to it.

Metahuman1 · 06-17-2011, 04:12 PM

"deny, Deny, DENY, DENY! The Sociopathic Ego Maniac!"

Elan.

It's still a great bit.

SamBurke · 06-17-2011, 04:21 PM

No one has suggested what is the best of all. Surprising!

"I... am... a... SEXY! SHOELESS! GOD! OF WAR!"
-Belkar

A few others:
"I'm the eighth Dwarf... Stabby!"
-Belkar
"I am the best bargainer ever!"
-Elan

Can't believe no one did this yet:

Stop oppressing my culture you ethnocentric bitch!
