Ah, Oscar Wilde was great!
I like: "Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
"Are you, like, a crazy person or something?"
And: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.
Both from V for Vendetta.

"By the hammer of logic do we bludgeon our theories against the anvil of truth 'till they are forged into the mightiest weapons with which to face the forces of ignorance and stupidity."
My Motto for a while in ED sweatdrop
Here are a few others, but I don't know who made them;
"A dagger in the dark is worth a thousand swords at dawn"
"Sometimes it's difficult to put the Mushroom Cloud back int he steel casing"
"An open mind is like a Fortress who's gates are left unbarred and unguarded"

I degraded myself to watching top 40 rock and roll girlfriends and very few actually looked any decent in my opinion. Then again, if you like plastic breasts you can't see over, then that's your own opinion...
