Seems like most people know a bunch of really good quotes by famous people past and present.

I'd like to make a thread of favourite quotes. They can be humerous, deep and meaningful, inane ...... whatever.

What's your favourite ever quote?

ps - in the interests of community spirit, this thread welcomes contributions from transvestites, pvc lovers, shaved apes and the French.

"Real life sucks losers dry, if you wanna fuck with the eagles, you gotta learn to fly"

"You act like you're fourteen years old
Everything you say is so obnoxious, funny, true and mean
I want to be your blowjob queen"

and a particular favourite of mine .....

"you really think you're a rebel? You're not a rebel! You're fucking psychotic!"

" There was only one catch and that was Catch-22.
Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't,
but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy
and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. "
