In no particular order, a sad revelation of my erudition, or lack thereof:

"Hell is other people." (Sartre, 1944)

"...biologically, Homo sapiens is a mildly polygynous ape with moderate levels of sperm competition." (Bateson & Bennett, 2006)

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." [Principal Anderson in Billy Madison (1995)]

"The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules. Anyway... I've started to make a tape... in my head... for Laura. Full of stuff she likes. Full of stuff that make her happy. For the first time I can sort of see how that is done." [Rob in High Fidelity (2000)]

"I've been thinking with my gut since I was 14 years old and, frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have **** for brains." [Rob in High Fidelity (2000)]

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. [V in V for Vendetta (2005)]

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure. [Agent Smith in The Matrix (1999)]

Albert has several in my top ten. And the other one I lived by as per ordered (ironically) by my CO the last place I was in the army. We did some pretty crazy stuff and scared the living s*** out of everyone but it was fun and we did good.
