Here's my all time favorite. Unfortunately, I've had to use it at work a few times. I've also seen this apply a time or two in metal circles. (Christian or not)
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance — that principle is contempt prior to investigation." ~ Herbert Spencer
I think these quotes are funny, in my sick twisted sense of funny.
"If we are what we eat, I could be you by tomorrow." ~ Unknown
"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." ~ Terry Pratchett
"What do you think, now, when you see a pretty girl walking down the street? One side of me says, 'Wow, what an attractive chick. I'd like to talk to her, date her.' The other side of me says, 'I wonder how her head would look on a stick.'" ~ Edmund Kemper
I'll post a bunch of Oscar Wilde quotes later unless someone beats me to it. He has a lot of consistently GOOD quotes.

I think this is one of the best movie quotes of all time:
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubblegum." [And then he starts blasting aliens with a 12-gauge.]
Can anyone name that movie?

They Live. I first saw that movie when I was a kid and it freaked me out!
Speaking of movie quotes, here's one... let's see if you can guess it. (Or Google search for it - HAHA!)
"October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper, "No." "

Watchmen? I am getting SO tired of all the superhero movies, but that one is in a league of its own. (I'm sorry, I haven't read the graphic novel.) IMO that's the best superhero flick to come out in the last 10 years. I thought it was so well done and so much deeper/more meaningful than the rest of the Marvel/DC stuff that's out there now.

I literally only like The Watchmen because of Rorschach. ....and I dig that character quite a bit. Same with Marv in Sin City.

Both those characters are pretty rad. That quote reminds me of the opening monologue in Taxi Driver. That's another great flick.

Here's some pertinent quotes - in regards to (Christian) black metal! (I didn't censor these - they're verbatim - so, heads up on the profanity)
“And I’ll set the record straight for pro-Jesus music, if it’s gonna be pro-Jesus fine, make me fear his wrath to the point where I shit my pants or make me want to hang myself for him. Don’t be passive about it. This is the cold intent black metal is founded on, you either got it or you don’t got it." ~ Skaven from the band Nierty
"Well, if they are on it, I certainly don't want to kick them off. We will just have to pass and play Greece another time or place. I have informed my management and they know what I feel." ~ Dave Mustaine from Megadeth in regards to his views with not wanting to play a tour with a band called "Rotting Christ"
“Black metal is a style of music. The philosophy of black metal has many different ‘genres’ so to say; such as rebellion, religion in general, the occult, mysticism, paganism and so on. It depends really on what each individual band believes and stands for.” ~ Fire from Elgibbor
"Imagine that a man bought an outfit that can only be used in a single occasion; the occasion happened and the outfit ‘can't be used again.’ Imagine a fire occurs, and his entire house with his belongings was burned in that fire, except him and his outfit that was used. What would do the fool? The fool would say: ‘I'd rather be naked than use this outfit that was used,’ but what would do the wise? The wise would say: ‘the dress had a purpose and it was used, now I will re-signify his function.’ The wheel can be always a wheel, and the person who invented the wheel certainly has it's copyrights in prehistoric times, but you can take that element and turn it into something new with a new function, the same thing happens with the music." ~ Syhirious from Diamoth
“In order to evolve, it must separate to some extent. Though there were a lot of great albums of black metal in the 1980's and 1990's, it is not the only time good black metal was made, however. Elitest assholes who say true black/extreme metal died in the 1990's remind me of a middle aged dude who glories in his high school football days. Those were the beginnings and the bands of today need to grow from that foundation more, rather than try to re-hash old shit.” ~ Eric Horner from Throne of Malediction
“The forerunners of most ‘extreme metal’ styles were not social butterflies and they didn't really give a shit either way what other people thought of what they were doing - they did it to satisfy an inner craving for music of a type they didn't hear coming from any other bands around them at the time. That being said I think the most apparent thing that's wrong with black metal in particular is the idea that there's some peer-based review board of people somewhere in Norway who meet on a weekly basis to decide what's black metal this year and what's not.” ~ Matthew Kelly of Dehumanation

Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self. - Charles Spurgeon
There are no choices. Nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask "why me?" and "what if?". When you look back and see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions. - Max Payne
