There was one I really liked from the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan... I believe it went something like this:

You killed my friends because they were my friends. You destroyed my home because it was my home. You are a Darkfriend, and a deadman. - Rand al'Thor

Pretty sure that's how it went.

When I die... may there be friends who will grieve for me, who will carry our shared joys and pains, who will carry my memory. - Drizzt Do'Urden, The Legacy Of The Drow (Book One: The Legacy)

It will not be a quick kill. - Artemis Entreri, The Legacy Of The Drow (Book One: The Legacy)

Coils within coils. Flease upon fleas, idiots begetting idiots... - Mogget, Lirael

All I can think of right yet.
