I think it is good there are so many of us that chose not to take a quote like that seriously. The world is already full of hacks and institutional mediocrity. Why would we want to promote it?

Some favourites
I have no real creators for these quotes, but they are funny nevertheless.
"Physics is like sex. Sometimes it gives practical results, but it's not why we do it."
"If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"
"Treat me like your homework. Slam me on the table... and do me all night long."
This one is great on invitations to parties.
"Dress code: Come as you are, go as you became."

My favourite is already up there!
Winston Churchill's one about the fanatic
The other Churchill quote: "Winston you are drunk!" That was Lady Astor and then his reply "In the morning I shall be sober, but you, Madam will still be ugly." (or close to it)
Another Churchill/ Lady Astor acid exchange was:
"Winston, if you were my husband, I would poison you!" To which he replied, "Madam, If I were your husband I would drink it!" -

Those are classic quotes! I had forgotten all about them until now. Thanks for the chuckle.

Non-fiction: "To each his own"
Fiction: "I'd like to share a revelation i've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure."
-Agent Smith, The matrix
-
