This is ridiculous. I'd have trouble picking a favorite quote from a particular episode, to say nothing of picking one from a particular series, so trying to pick a favorite quote full stop is...madness. So just have a handful along with a few video shout-outs to a series that hasn't had enough kudos in the meme so far.

"I walked worlds of smoke and half-truths, intangible. Worlds of torment and of unnamable beauty. Opaline towers as high as small moons. Glaciers that rippled with insensate lust... And one world with nothing but shrimp... I tired of that one quickly."

"Well, Michael, you really are quite the Cupid, aren’t you? I tell you, you can sink your arrow into my buttocks any time."
"Okay, you know what you do? You buy yourself a tape recorder, you just record yourself for a whole day. I think you’re going to be surprised at some of your phrasing."
"Butterscotch! Want a lick?"

"Why do your people always ask if someone is ready right before you're going to do something massively unwise?"

"God is not on any one's side. God is a force of nature. Beyond good and evil. Good and evil, we created those. Want to break the cycle? Break the cycle of birth, death, re-birth, destruction, escape, death. That's in our hands. In our hands only. Requires a leap of faith. Requires that we live in hope, not fear."

"If we wanna make ferns invisible or communicate with shrimp, I've got the goods right here."
"Our lives are different than other people's."

"Have you seen this man?"
"[In Chinese] My partner is crazy and may start firing at any moment."
"Go. Go! Semester abroad?"
"No. A TV show I used to love."
"Huh. Nice job."
"Thanks."

"Okay, look, I'm not going to rewrite this paper for you, but I will give you a couple of tips that will help you rewrite it. First, the book title Sons and Lovers does not have an apostrophe in it... anywhere. Second, unless your ex-boyfriend is an authority on D.H. Lawrence, don't base your thesis on something he said while making out."
"Mm. What about something he said when we broke up?"
"No."
"Mmm. Okay, thanks."
"Thank you, and good luck with the doctorate."

"It came because it couldn't stand to watch your children cry. What if you were really old, and really kind and alone? Your whole race dead, no future. What couldn't you do then? If you were that old, and that kind, and the very last of your kind.... you couldn't just stand there and watch children cry."

"'Dear Diary: Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Today we were kidnapped by hill folk, never to be seen again. It was the best day ever.'"

"Dying sucks butt. How do you living beings cope with mortality?"
"Violent outbursts."
"General slutiness."
"Thanks to denial, I'm immortal."

"Drumsticks can also be chicken."

"Hello, friends. I am a perfectly normal human worm boy. You have nothing, absolutely nothing, to fear from me. Just pay no attention to me and we'll get along just fine."

"Bleach is healthy. It's mostly water. And we are mostly water. Therefore, we are bleach."

"Now, you're going to feel normal for a while and then there's gonna be some vomiting, followed by death."
"Vomiting?"
"Followed by death."
"Vomiting?"
"And then death."
"Is there any chance death could come before the vomiting?"

"That's a toy I wouldn't mind having! I like it very much!"

"This is the point of in day, which we come to many times, when we start to go, 'What else do we have that's flammable in the truck?'"

"I saw 'Wedding Crashers' accidentally. I bought a ticket for 'Grizzly Man' and went into the wrong theater. After an hour, I figured I was in the wrong theater, but I kept waiting. Cause that’s the thing about bear attacks... they come when you least expect it."

"Are you the dying kid?"
"I, uh... I, um..."
"You stutter too? Could you have worse luck? Oh well, at least you won't have to deal with it in high school."

"Look at this! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I don't know, I'm thinking of invading Afghanistan by myself. What are you thinking?"

"I am about to make this man the most famous 7th place archer in the history of sports. I think the very least he can do is die in a timely manner... and be gay."

And if you've come this far, you get two choices: the defiant or the empathetic, both of which really rather need to be heard than read....
