What is your all-time favorite quote from a written work?

Jenny (mentha) "But the plans were on display . . ."
"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."
"That's the display department."
"With a torch."
"Ah, well the lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But look, you found the notice, didn't you?"
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard." - Hichhikers guide to the galaxy.

Makes me snort every time.

Chloe (chloe36) | 21 comments "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You
I haven't read this book, but I found it on Goodreads Quotes and loved it.

So this is really hard for me to pick just one, but here is one of my favorite quotes:
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."--
from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
