    Fight Club is packed with my favourite quotes.

    The narrator:

    One day you're thinking and hauling yourself around, and the next, you're cold fertilizer, worm buffet.

    It's easy to cry when you realize everyone you love will reject you or die.

    On a large enough time line, the survival rate for everyone will drop to zero.

    Where would Jesus be if no one had written the gospels?

    Tyler Durden:

    "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."

    "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all a part of the same compost pile."

    "It's only after you've lost everything, that you're free to do anything."

    Marla Singer:

    "You know, the condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip it on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night then you throw it away. The condom, I mean. Not the stranger."

    One of my all time favorites

    You're not Dostoevsky,' said the citizeness, who was getting muddled by Koroviev.
    'Well, who knows, who knows,' he replied.
    'Dostoevsky's dead,' said the citizeness, but somehow not very confidently.
    'I protest!' Behemoth exclaimed hotly. 'Dostoevsky is immortal!'

    "We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock gods, but we won't. And we're just learning this fact. So don't fuck with us."

    ‘… Nothing was found, except yourself – in an unconscious condition.’

    The panther shrugged. ‘Well, what do you expect when a building falls on me? That I’d be dancing a mazurka in the ruins?’


    —Nathaniel and Bartimaeus, Golem’s Eye; Jonathan Stroud.

    This huge one:

    ‘In the absence of other evidence, blame will fall on you as the cause of all this devastation, unless you can give us information to the contrary.’

    ‘What?’ The panther’s eyes widened in outrage. ‘You’re blaming ME? After what I’ve suffered? My essence is one big bruise, I tell you! I’ve got bruises where bruises don’t ought to be!’

    ‘So then,’ Nathaniel said, ‘what caused it?’

    ‘What caused the building to collapse?’

    ‘Yes.’

    ‘You want to know what caused all the devastation last night and disappeared from right under your noses?’

    ‘That’s right.’

    ‘So you’re asking me for the identity of the creature that arrives as if from nowhere, departs again unseen and, while it’s here, wraps a cloak of blackness around it to protect it from the vision of spirit, human or animal, on this and every other plane? That’s seriously what you’re asking?’

    Nathaniel’s heart had sunk down into his boots. ‘… Yes.’

    ‘That’s easy. It’s a golem.’


    —Nathaniel and Bartimaeus, Golem’s Eye; Jonathan Stroud.

    You seem very confident about your facts,’ the panther remarked, yawning loudly and displaying an impressive set of teeth. ‘It’s true that the parchments disintegrate when they are removed from the golem’s mouth. And by the terms of the spell, the monster must then return to its master and subside back into clay, so the body doesn’t survive either. But the golem’s eye is not destroyed. It can be used many times. So there may well be one here, in modern London. Why are you so yellow?’

    —Bartimaeus, Golem’s Eye; Jonathan Stroud.

    And the last one:

    The panther swished its tail. ‘Hey, we’ve all got problems, chum. I’m overly talkative. You look like a field of buttercups in a suit.’

    —Bartimaeus, Golem’s Eye; Jonathan Stroud.

    You have to read the book to understand half of the jokes. :D

    “Not just beautiful, though - the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they’re watching me. What I’ve done up till now, what I’m going to do - they know it all. Nothing gets past their watchful eyes. As I sit there under the shining night sky, again a violent fear takes hold of me. My heart’s pounding a mile a minute, and I can barely breathe. All these millions of stars looking down on me, and I’ve never given them more than a passing thought before. Not just stars - how many other things haven’t I noticed in the world, things I know nothing about? I suddenly feel helpless, completely powerless. And I know I’ll never outrun that awful feeling.”

    People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don't know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.
    -Louis, Interview With the Vampire

    You spend your whole life stuck in the labrynth, thinking how you'll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

    "The only thing I know for certain is that I must always heal. Just like every time my life was re-created, I had to begin restoring the foundered part of my being: the lost relationships, the familiarity of a neighborhood, the sense of the person I might have been. There is an algebraic term for the technique for distributing two binomials, called the FOIL method. It stands for first, outer; inner, last. And that is exactly how I have learned to repair myself time after time: from the outside in."

    “I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.”-Fight Club

    "When you love someone, its never over. You move on, because you have to but you take them with you in your heart" - Kissed By An Angel by Elizabeth Chandler.

    ----

    "Don't die on me," Alanna whispered when the clock struck midnight and he still had not moved. "It's only a little shoulder wound. Goddess, George-don't die on me."

    His eyes flickered open and he smiled. "I didn't know you cared," he whispered. "And why insult me? I won't die for a wee nick like this; I've had worse in my day."

    Alanna wiped her wet cheeks. "Of course I care, you unprincipled pickpocket!" she whispered. "Of course I care."
    - Song Of A Lioness series by Tamora Pierce.
    That scene is so cute it almost makes me want to throw up. But, still. I love it :D
