This is not only a list of formal or inspirational quotations. It also includes memorable lines from films, television, video games, books, songs, online writing, conversations, and other sources. Some stand alone; others are especially meaningful, funny, dramatic, or strange within their original context.

The collection includes short one-liners, longer passages, speeches, lists, and exchanges between multiple speakers. Attribution and source information are included whenever available, and selected entries also include a personal note explaining why I saved them.
