"Do or do not, there is no try."

Somehow I don't think that's original to Fozzie.

P'raps not, but, in his avatar as squat Jedi master, he certainly made it his own.

Frank Oz was Yoda, and Fozzie, which I have always understood to be a contraction (of sorts) of Frank Oz.

And now for something completely different was often used as a voice-over on the Monty Python's television program, "Monty Python's Flying Circus," usually to lead to the next skit.

Did somebody already mention Dirty Harry's immortal question "Do you feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?"

Not yet a widely quoted line, but I love DeNiro's response in "Ronin" when he is asked if he ever killed anybody: I hurt somebody's feelings once.

One of the most quoted movies when I was in college was the hilarious Raising Arizona, which produced:

I'll just take these Huggies and whatever cash you've got in the drawer.

Her womb was a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase.

Uh no, ma'am, we released ourselves on our own recognizance.
