So this is mostly just an excuse to paste some of the best quotes from my list of favorites, whether for inspiration, lines to steal for character quotes, or just the general enjoyment of anyone who likes that sort of thing. If anyone else has favorite quotes they'd like to contribute, feel free to drop 'em!
Source: Ender's Game
"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.”
---
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
---
The only thing holding you back is yourself.
---
Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. - Robert Heinlein
---
"Don't go easy on her just because she's a girl!" "Don't worry, I'm always hard for a woman."
---
You thought the loss of your true love was the worst pain you could ever feel, but that was before you started vomiting up huge gouts of furious hornets.

A manga (I forget the title)"You can't achieve anything if you never try" Code Geass"To defeat evil, I shall become an even greater evil." "Does strength represent justice if powerlessness is a crime!?" "When people lie, they are doing it to protect the ones they love." "There are times in life when you have to distance yourself from those you love, because you love them." "Vigilantism is nothing but self satisfaction" "Lelouch...Do you know why the snow is white?...Because it forgot what colour it was" "False tears bring pain to others, false smile brings pain to one self" Fate/Stay Night : I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades. Unknown to death. Nor known to life. Have withstood pain to create many weapons. Yet, those hands will never hold anything. So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.

"If at all possible, I prefer to forge my own path through life rather then call it 'destiny' after the cards have settled" - Lezard Valeth
"Let's give it a try! All you have to lose is your life, and you got that for free!" -Earthbound
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -T. Roosevelt

"What are you going to do, eh? We've swept this place, you've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns!" -Mr. Creedy
"No, what you have are bullets, and the hopes that when your guns are empty, I'm no longer standing, because if I am, you'll all be dead before you've reloaded." -V

"Alright, chums, lets do this! LEEEEROY JEEEENKINS! -Leeroy Jenkins

You just got in the way when I was...conjuring. Garcia: I still have a lump on my head. Dozla: I feel badly about it, all right? Besides, I think you're forgetting that I also healed you with that staff! Garcia: No, you didn't! You burned my beard clear off! Dozla: Oh, yes. That's right. I'm sorry.

“Stories, like people and butterflies and songbirds' eggs and human hearts and dreams, are also fragile things, made up of nothing stronger or more lasting than twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks. Or they are words on the air, composed of sounds and ideas-abstract, invisible, gone once they've been spoken-and what could be more frail than that? But some stories, small, simple ones about setting out on adventures or people doing wonders, tales of miracles and monsters, have outlasted all the people who told them, and some of them have outlasted the lands in which they were created.” -Neil Gaiman, I think?
-WELL THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE NAYRU OR ANYTHING
