Just for fun, this is to suggest contributions of favorite fictional quotes. By "fictional quote" I mean something said by a fictional character, not a misattributed quote. By way of an example, two of my favorites are "Travel broadens the mind," and "Why is a mouse when it spins?, I never did get that one," both by the Tom Baker version of Dr Who.
I would not be surprised if the first was by someone else earlier but I am unaware of it if it is.
Three others, also from multiple versions of Dr Who, would be, "Just reverse the polarity of the neutron flow," and "Would you like a jellybaby?", and "What could possibly go wrong?"

Re: Best Fictional Quotes
The Three Laws of Robotics: wrote:A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
First articulated by Powell in Asimov's Runaround.
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

"The first example that I can find of the phrase is in the French author Eugène Sue's novel Memoirs of Matilda, which was translated into English by D. G. Osbourne and published in 1846:
And then revenge is very good eaten cold, as the vulgar say.
The italics are from the text, which implies that the phrase was already in use when the novel was written. "

Re: Best Fictional Quotes
my wife and i still quote the words of Francis Wolcott (played by Garret Dillahunt in Deadwood) to each other... just the way he said it
Calamity Jane: "Are you the f@cking c%cksucker?"
Wolcott: "I may well be"

Re: Best Fictional Quotes
One of my favorites is from the original Star Trek when a nearly omnipotent all powerful being who has lived for 10s of thousands of year gives Captain Kirk a lesson in humility.
Kirk "We face a similar crisis in our nuclear age. We found the wisdom not to destroy ourselves."
Zargon "And we survived our primitive nuclear age my son, but there comes to all races, an ultimate crisis, which you have yet to face."
Kirk" I don't understand.
Zargon "ONE DAY OUR MINDS BECOME SO POWERFUL, WE DARED TO THINK OF OURSELVES AS GODS!"
