Well, Marquis de Sade, although repulsive, I think is great. One of my favorites of all time:

"Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen, atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change." - Sade

I rather like my current sig, as well as this: "Go away. I'm all right." -- Last words of H. G. Wells (1886-1946)

My personal favorites have to be the real everyday quotes such as this one, said by my gym teacher: "Emily, how tall are you in kilograms?"

I'm bored and just woke up an hour ago (got virtually no sleep this weekend--band trip) and so I'm gonna post more inane quotes. :) A lot of these are from the band trip, which was big fun.

"Oh my God, is there, like, drugs in other countries?"

"I got some chocolate eggs for Easter, and-"
"YOU'RE JEWISH! You don't get Easter candy!"

"So how come when you eat a poppyseed bagel, you don't get high?"

"There are four layers of the atmosphere, but it's not like if you go up in a rocket there'll be a little line there and a sign saying, 'Welcome to the stratosphere!'"

"If your mom's having an affair with my dad, I'll kill you all!"

"I really want hair down to my a**. I'm so never cutting my hair again. Hair grows so slowly, it sucks. I wish I had hair down to my a**!"

"It's called 'Amazon'.. so it's either about the rainforest or big women."

"But why did you put butter in your pocket?"
"Oh, it's a fetish of mine."

"I thought it said 'Liquid Grass,' but it said 'Mardi Gras.'"

"Cotton candy makes my face sticky."
