"Those who have not swords may still die upon them."
-Eowyn

@Gothmog: Yes, ASIOAF has a lot of great quotes. Now I think of it:

Click to: Show
Catelyn Stark (grabs a Frey and pushes a knife to his throat): "Let Robb go. A son for a son" (or something along those lines)
Walder Frey: "A son for a son, yes. But that's a grandson."

Also (maybe a bit on the rude side, but funny nonetheless):
Clegane Guardsman: "...Bugger me with a bloody spear..." (he says this all the time)
Jaime Lannister: "Very well. Ser Ilyn, you heard him. Shove a spear up his @ss."

EDIT: Spoilered after GtW's comment. Sorry.

@Telchar, the Frey quote is a spoiler. People don't yet know whose side he is on.

Peep show:

Jez: ergh, cornflakes are just frosties for w***ers
Mark: no Jeremy, frosties are for people who cant face reality

:)

Mark: Jeremy, there are many things I would do to help you, but digging a hole in the wintry earth with my bare hands so that you can bury the corpse of a dog you've killed is not one of them.

I could go on & on with peep show quotes!

"When you are studying any matter or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts, and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed, but look only and solely at what are the facts." --Bertrand Russell

"We are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us." --Neil deGrasse Tyson

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multiarmed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."--J. Robert Oppenheimer

There are lines from Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Halo, and Gears of War that I find very quotable as well, but those are more for fun.

Please ignore the language, but since there is a spoiler tab, I thought i'd post this quote:

Click to: Show
"Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, [word deleted] gold"


(End of Sword of Storms by GRRM)

Also, one of the best quotes from the Fellowship:

"Not all of Sauron's servants and chattels are wraiths, there are Orcs and trolls, there are Wargs and werewolves"

(Early in FotR by JRRT)

"I am the punishment of god, if you had not committed great sins god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you" - Genghis Khan

"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death." - John F. Kennedy

“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analysing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the [word deleted] on.”
- Tupac Shakur

Now the obvious ones:

"Veni, Vedi, Vici" - Julius Caesar

sorry, couldn't resist more blackadder:

“This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-story crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants.”

“You wouldn't know a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord singing 'Subtle Plans Are Here Again.'”

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
- Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19–28

How about some Robert E. Howard Quotes:
"I have never yet done a man to death by torture, but by God, sir, you tempt me!" -Red Shadows

"Gold, power, and position," grunted Brule. "The sooner you learn that men are men whether wizard, king, or thrall, the better you will rule, Kull."

"The men on the Dauntless have disliked the Sea Girl's crew ever since our skipper took their captain to a cleaning on the wharfs of Zanzibar--them being narrow-minded that way. They claimed that the old man had a knuckle-duster on his right, which is ridiculous and a dirty lie. He had it on his left."
- The Pit of the Serpent

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing;
Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king."
-Conan, Phoenix on the Sword

“Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.”
― Robert E. Howard

You express amazement at my statement that 'civilized' men try to justify their looting, butchering and plundering by claiming that these things are done in the interests of art, progress and culture. That this simple statement of fact should cause surprize, amazes me in return. People claiming to possess superior civilization have always veneered their rapaciousness by such claims...
Your friend Mussolini is a striking modern-day example. In that speech of his I heard translated he spoke feelingly of the expansion of civilization. From time to time he has announced; 'The sword and civilization go hand in hand!' 'Wherever the Italian flag waves it will be as a symbol of civilization!' 'Africa must be brought into civilization!' It is not, of course, because of any selfish motive that he has invaded a helpless country, bombing, burning and gassing both combatants and non-combatants by the thousands. Oh, no, according to his own assertions it is all in the interests of art, culture and progress, just as the German war-lords were determined to confer the advantages of Teutonic Kultur on a benighted world, by fire and lead and steel. Civilized nations never, never have selfish motives for butchering, raping and looting; only horrid barbarians have those.
- From a letter to H. P. Lovecraft (5 December 1935)

"Each javilin round costs 80000 dollars, and the idea that its fired by a man who doesn't make that in a year, at a man who doesn't make that in a lifetime is so outrageous it actually makes the war seem winnable." -Sebastian Junger

"There was a goblin, or a trickster or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it or hold it or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world..."

From Macbeth by William Shakespeare:
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

I think we all know where these two are from:
- "What about their legs? They don't need those."
- "Not the beard!"

And straight from the chat box:
- "Whatever you're planning, wear a hard hat...."
KnightyKnight
- "You're tidying your room? Are you feeling OK?"
Dead Marsh Spectre

And one from an unknown source:
- "You think my plan is flawed? I know my plan is flawed, I was just hoping nobody else would notice."

"To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die to sleep,
To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause..."

To Be or Not to Be, Hamlet. (Partial)
