Tiberian, I don't have them handy but that very well could be from the Shadow series from Card (Ender's Shadow most likely). But yes, read Ender's Game first! I'm a long time member of OSC's message board, been a fan for a looooong time.
Thanks for the avatar comment, I made that one for the current contest. :)
"But what does it do?"
"It doesn't do anything, that's the beauty of it!"
We've been debating and searching this one at another forum I frequent for YEARS.
I could swear it's from a Magic card. Null Rod, maybe?

I have no idea where this is from, but I would like to know.
"Oh, he's on the List."

"You're on the list too, smartass."

I think it's the Constantine movie...
Yep, it is. His little assistant guy or whatever says it to the bouncer with the silly psychic card thingies. Good film, I thought.
I don't have any myself, but not long ago I was trying to remember where the "What we do in life echoes in eternity" line was from. It was during a pub quiz and just before the end of the round I finally remembered it and promptly blurted it out to the entire room. :P
Not a quote, per se, but it's been bugging me for some time and I don't want to reread the book to find it out, but who is Aramis's valet in The Three Musketeers. I know D'Artagnan has Planchet, Porthos has Mosqueton, and Athos Grimaud, but Aramis's eludes me. I'm fairly certain it starts with a B.

From Chapter 7 of The Three Musketeers (http://www.worldwideschool.org/libra...ers/chap8.html), in which all of the lackeys are introduced in turn, Aramis' valet is named Bazin. That was such a good story, and I really should get around to reading The Man in the Iron Mask at some point.
Thank you , Zophiel. I knew it started with a B. It really is such a good story; I recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.

Well, for "Who's your daddy," it's hard to tell, but I was told that the most likely point of origin is in the song Time of the Season by The Zombies in 1968. Not a movie, but I would hazard a guess at that one.
