        • "It must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."
          Something kind of sad about the way that things have come to be.

              • Blackadder: Oh, incidentally, Baldrick - actors are very superstitious. On no account mention the word *Macbeth* this evening, alright?
                Baldrick: Why not?
                Blackadder: It brings them bad luck and it makes them very unhappy.
                Baldrick: Oh, so you won't be mentioning it either?
                Blackadder: No... well, not very often.


                Melchett: You used to have a rabbit. Beautiful little thing. Do you remember?
                George: Flossy.
                Melchett: That's right. Flossy. Do you remember what happened to Flossy?
                George: You shot him.
                Melchett: That's right. It was the kindest thing to do after he'd been run over by that car.
                ...George: By YOUR car, sir.
                Melchett: Yes, by my car. But even that was an act of mercy when you remember that that dog had been set on him.
                George: YOUR dog, sir.


                Percy: Do not despair! For I have some small savings
                carefully harvested from my weekly allowance, set aside against my
                frail old age. By lucky hap, it is just over a thousand, methinks, and
                for years has been hidden beyond the wit of any thief, in an old sock...
                Percy & Blackadder: ...under the squeaky floorboard...
                ...Percy, Blackadder & Baldrick: ...behind the kitchen dresser.
                Percy: [smiles uneasily] You've seen it, then.
                Blackadder: Seen it, pinched it, spent it! And the same goes
                for the two farthings Baldrick thinks he’s got hidden inside that
                mouldy potato.
                Baldrick: Oh, bloody hell!

                • My favorite Blackadder quote was in the WWI episode where he was going to be executed. Another soldier commented on how calm he seemed.

                  Soldier: I've got to admire your balls!
                  Blackadder (after a pause): Perhaps later.

                  • "Well, I must go. I hope we shall meet again. I will give you some free advice, though."
                    "Will it cost me anything?"
                    "What? I just said it was free!" said Miss Tick.
                    "Yes, but my father said that free advice often turns out to be expensive," said Tiffany.
                    Miss Tick sniffed. "You could say this advice is priceless," she said. "Are you listening?"
                    "Yes," said Tiffany.
                    "Good. Now... if you trust in yourself..."
                    "Yes?"
                    "...and believe in your dreams..."
                    "Yes?"
                    "...and follow your star..." Miss Tick went on.
                    "Yes?"
                    "...you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learninig things and weren't so lazy. Good-bye."


                    from The Wee Free Men, Terry Pratchett
                    I don't go in for ancient wisdom
                    I don't believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious
                    It means that they're worthy - Tim Minchin, "White Wine in the Sun"

                              • Conan: "I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I seek not beyond death. It may be the blackness averred by the Nemedian skeptics, or Crom's realm of ice and cloud, or the snowy plains and vaulted halls of the Nordheimer's Valhalla. I know not, nor do I care. Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."
