I tend to collect quotations, from a wide variety of sources. I happen to have heard one the other night on Game of Thrones, and it's too good not to get some exposure, so I am going to post it below. If anyone else hears a great quote, whether it's in a book or movie or TV show, or in person, post it here.
So without further ado, the quote that got my attention:
"If you're a famous smuggler, you're not doing it right." - Ser Davros, Game of Thrones

"There was a wise old owl who lived in an Oak. The more he heard the less he spoke. The less he spoke the more he heard. Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?- Anon

Heh, I worked for a contractor authorizing behavioral health services for the State. We were everyone's target. We had to enforce the State's policies, while representing us as the bad guys and protecting the State. The State hated us because the providers complained about us, the providers hated us because they thought "our" policies were shite. So that quote was my background on my work computer.
And another quote that always gives me goose bumps when I read the passage, dang all of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields parts give me goosebumps. I'm a big Théoden fan, but this part is about Éomer:
For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them.
