"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a dog it's too dark to read." --Groucho Marx
It's hard to define favourite quotations, because mine change on an almost daily basis. The following is from the latest Viz, from the strip Real Ale Twats shortly after one of the has a whisky.
'And then that ******* landlord of the Cask and Spigot in Ross-On-Wye tried to tell me that British Rail didn't commission the class fifty-five deltic locomotive until 1963...WRONG! IT WAS IN 1961, YOU ******* IGNORAMUS! The bastards name was Roger, AND I'M GOING TO GO BACK THERE AND KILL HIM!'

I don't remember who said it--it may have been either Gus or Dys:
"What I say is, a town isn't a town without a whorehouse. It may call itself a town, but unless it's got a whorehouse, it knows it's not fooling a soul."
@JLNobody,
i heard it another way. the town needs a book shop.
My favourites are from NASA :
"Uh-oh..."
AND
"Houston... we have a problem..."
"It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf." - Walter Lippman
“It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.”
G. K. Chesterton

@raprap,
i like that one. it makes you think whether joking about the religion is passing the test or not...
@hamilton,
Gilbert Chesterton is one of the great Catholic apologists--equal IMO to St. Thomas or St. Anselm.

Here are a couple:
A scientist is happy, not in resting on his attainments but in the steady acquisition of fresh knowledge. - Max Planck

I may be a bastard, but I'm not a ******* bastard. - George Clooney's character in From Dusk Till Dawn
@George,
I saw one this weekend on a bwnch in Rehoboth Del
"Saving a dogs life wont change the world, but it will change the world of that dog"
