    I've been collecting funny or interesting quotes in a google doc for years, here are some choice favorites.

    "We just need to learn to use our newly acquired powers for good, instead of stupid."

    "In the beginning the universe was created, this has been widely regarded as a bad decision and looked down upon."-Douglas Adams

    "It's not over until the fat lady makes her mixtape"

    “Two stupids don’t make a smart.”
    “Three lefts make a right, so we were halfway there at least.”

    "I took a calculated risk, but man. I am bad at math."

    Wizards's first Rule: "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they're afraid it might be true. Peoples' heads are full of knowledge, facts and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool"

    Rules for Rulers: Rule 0: "Without power, you can affect nothing."
    The whole video is full nicely quoted stuff.

    I really hate the whole "absolute power corrupts absolutely" quote, because it's wrongly applied to fantasy powers - why power corrupts is explained in Rules for Rulers (essentially: to keep (real world) power you have to make concessions to your powerbase, thus corrupting you), but that doesn't apply to fantasy powers. Saitama has absolute power, but there is no corruptive influence, because he can keep power without concessions.

    The quote "absolute power corrupts absolutely" refers to when you for whatever reason do not need to make concessions to your powerbase, so nobody can hold you back when you want to do something wrong. Also, the rest of the quote is "power corrupts" and goes on to say merely being part of the powerbase is enough to corrupt.

    As Erin switched her pants and wiped away the mess, she wondered what cruel twist of fate had dumped her in this fantasy world—yet still gave her the miracle of life every month.

    “I’ve never heard of video game characters dealing with this! How do you expect Lara Croft to climb mountains with a giant frickin’ diaper in her pants? I’d love to see Leia fighting stormtroopers on her cycle!”
