Does anyone have any quote(s) from comics that they particularly like? If so, post here and tell us why.

Mine is one of the well known Green Lantern oaths:

-------------------------------------
In brightest day, in darkest night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!
------------------------------------------------

My reason is that it sounds like a very catchy superhero mission statement.

"Find this 'Carson Daly' person and eliminate him." - The Kingpin, Ultimate Spider-Man.

"Sleep well, Judas." - Daredevil to Tony Stark after spitting a silver coin at him at the end of Civil War #5.

"I'm going to go find Largo . . . and PK him."
~ Piro from MegaTokyo

"Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says “Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.â€

(This quote is not 100% accurate. I only read Megatokyo Vol.1 once a while ago. For example, I'm not sure who said which line so correct me if I'm wrong.)

Largo: Have you ever thought we should settle down, find a love, buy a house, and live a normal life.

Piro: Didn't they make a Sims game about that?

Largo: Yeah, it sucked.

Piro: There you go.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Largo: You know, I've been thinking...
Piro: Which should be legalized.

I'm certain that if I read through my favorite graphic novels (some of Neil Gaiman's work and Watchmen, namely) I would find quotes, but for the moment none are coming to mind.

Then again, I am at a public library. I don't have a lot of time, but I did have enough to look up one thing I recalled. More of a favorite moment than a quote, but still.

Manhatten: What's that in your hand, Veidt? Another ultimate weapon?
Ozymandias: Yes. Yes, you could say that.

I can't think of any obscure, great ones at the moment, but only one of the most well-known ones (I wonder if anyone's already mentioned it here?)
"With great power comes great responsibility." -Uncle Ben from Spiderman"
Quite poignant for a variety of situations.

*giggles with glee* That makes me want to read watchmen again.

"But it doesn't have to change into what you saw. I've had my share of prophets and time travellers, Conner. All my life I've had people telling me what I'm going to be when I "grow up". 'He's going to be Batman.' But I found my own path as Nightwing. And if I've learned anything from my time with the Titans, it's that the future isn't written in stone."
-Nightwing to Superboy; Teen Titans

"Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spend my entire day sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive. 'The devil made me do it.' I have never made one of them do anything. Never. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them .... They talk of my going around and buying souls - never stopping to ask themselves why. I need no souls. And how can anyone own a soul? No. They belong to themselves - they just hate to have to face up to it." -- Lucifer, Season of Mists

This is from Justice League. It's from Zauriel, an angel who was temporarily with the team.
"I haven't slept since the dawn of creation. I didn't want to miss any more dawns that good."
It just sounds like something an angel would say.

"It was a dark and spooky night. How spooky was it? Spoooooooooooooooky!"
-- Snoopy (typing the opening of a book)

"Aha! I'll bounce off that broad, flat surface and flip to safety. *SNAP!* Aha! I'll bounce off that broad, flat surface and be in a lot of pain!"
-The Tick

"SNIKT!"
-X-men (sound of Wolverine's claws coming out)

"Shut up, Desire. The next time you feel like talking, just shut up."
-Death, The Sandman

"Who put the plutonium peanut butter in my underwear?"
-Opus, Bloom County

my favorite Joker moment. From "The Joker Fish"
Joker walks into a copyrighter commissioner's office.
Copyright Commissioner : Good Lord!
Joker (looks around fearfully): Where? Oh, I see. It was just an expression of endearment, eh, Mr. Francis?

Photosoph wrote:"With great power comes great responsibility." -Uncle Ben from Spiderman"

that's my favorite quote too.

"I am not your sweet babboo!"
-- Linus (to Sally)

"I really like beer."
-Wolverine in Astonishing X-Men.
