Dwayne: I wish I could just sleep until I was eighteen and skip all this crap-high school and everything-just skip it.
Frank: Do you know who Marcel Proust is?
Dwayne: He's the guy you teach.
Frank: Yeah. French writer. Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he's also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he uh... he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18... Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that.
-Little Miss Sunshine
Also pretty much any line from V for Vendetta.
As far as books go? My favorite two quotes are both openings of novels. The first is "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen" from 1984
And secondly, "Tuesday was a fine California day full of sunshine and promise, until Harry Lyon had to shoot someone at lunch." from Dragon Tears.
A really good character in modern television today is Walter from the show Fringe, everything that guy says cracks me up.

I really loved the quote from the movie "The Great Debaters:"
Who is the judge? The judge is God. Why is he God? Because he decides who wins or loses, not my opponent. Who is your opponent? My opponent does not exist. Why doesn't he exist? Because he is a mere dissenting voice of the truth I speak.
I loved that quote and it's the first one that comes to my mind when I think of social justice and get saddened by difficult times in the world. Perhaps there's another quote in a book or in a movie or something, but I could think of none before that one, so that's got to be saying something.
I hope that this helps. You should watch the movie- it's excellent.
