I cant remember the full quote, but it goes something like this:

If you are a dreamer come in,
If you are a dreamer,
A wisher a lier,
A (forgot), a magic bean buyer,
If you have a tale come site by our fire,
We have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in, come in.

Quote from Inkheart who quoted from Where The Sidewalk Ends I belive...

You'd be surprised how many times the number 42 comes up in conversations with my friends, quite innocently. Then, we all manage to quote a piece of this at the same time.

"Freedom is the freedom to say 2+2=4. If that is granted, all else follows."
---George Orwell, 1984

Mine is a humorous one- and also the only one I can think of at the moment.

"Look! I can make that old man pick for boogeys again.... and again.... and again! Wicked!" ~Ron Weasly, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the movie house, I only had two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home."~The Outsiders

I like that part so much because its started in the beginning of the book and quoted again at the end.

Hmm, my favorite quote is usually from the most recent book I've read, they all have good quotes. At the moment, it's from Interesting Times, by Terry Pratchet.

"Ok, I have a vanishing trick but first the guards have to open all the doors, and everyone has to turn around." -Rincewind

This is my favorite quote currently from Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett:

"Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvelous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror."

I love that passage. Too often people use words without really appreciating their meanings.

Continuing the Pratchett theme, and cheating by using my sig from another forum :

"Life in this world is, as it were, a sojourn in the cave. What can we know of reality? For all we see of the true nature of existence is, shall we say, no more than bewildering and amusing shadows cast upon the inner wall of the cave by the unseen blinding light of absolute truth, from which we may or may not deduce some glimmer of veracity, and we troglodyte seekers of wisdom can only lift our voices to the unseen and say, humbly, "Go on, do Deformed Rabbit...its my favourite." " - Narrative from Small Gods ( I think )

Also, very nearly anything Bursar ever says is quotable.

"There are just some kind of men who - who're jsut so busy worrying about the next world they've never really learned how to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results."
-- To Kill a Mockingbird
--By Harper Lee

"If I understand their transcript system, the courses she'd passed might qualify her for assistant gerbil trainer in a zoo..."

(Wow...you can major for that in college )

"Fruitcakes. Aunt Gracie Lane must be the most single-minded person in the entire universe if she knew anything about what had happened and was worrying about those hideous fruitcakes."

(Haha...after a near death experience, the main character is told by her aunt to remember to eat all the fruitcakes (there were 3...to the main character's horror), and slice them in thin ladylike slices.)

"I'm probably not being fair--" "To think she's a fluttery featherhead? Possibly not, but she's a good imitation."

From Trading in Danger By Elizabeth Moon

"A dignified lizard looks even odder than an offended lizard."

- Talking to Dragons, by Patricia Wrede

I love that book, and I love that quote.

Ain't it great! Have you ever seen the movie?

"Ideas or lack of them can cause disease."

From Breakfast of Champions or Good-bye Blue Monday, by Kurt Vonnegut. There's also a good quote about insanity but I don't remember it.

I have a few and they're all probably more like paragraphs than single quotes:
