So I looked and I'm not sure if someone did this already, but what are some of your favorite phrases or quotes?

"Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again" has always been pretty funny to me.

"Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling."

Just some funny ones I've come across over the years.

That right will prevail, that courage honesty and integrity are everything and money and power are nothing,,,and love,,,true love never dies. We believe in these thing not because they are TRUE; but because they are worth believeing in."

I think this is derivation of a quote from the bible. Not being of that faith, I have only read the book once and use it for occasional research, I think the quote is:
" Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone at her."

This refers to the still implemented (by muslims) charming practice of stoning adulterers (usually just the women for some reason - the men have lots of loop holes since they can have sex with slaves, servants and multiple wives both biblically and in the modern world) to death. You can find actual video of this on You Tube. It is very disturbing, they are buried, standing, past the waist, with their arms at their sides. Then a bunch of (most always men) throw rocks at them until they die. They aren't allowed to use rocks large enough to kill them quickly.

This is one reason that I strongly advise letting go of anger over former partner's behavior. I've been cheated on more than once but have no desire to see anyone subjected to such treatment.

There is a quote from a "Child's Garden of Grass" (not Whitman's) that says:
"People who live in glass houses shouldn't get stoned."

I always found this workplace related quote to be quite humorous and unfortunately all to true. Don't know if it's cited to someone, but one of accounts payable techs has quite aptly dubbed this place "The circus that never leaves town."

Always loved this.
