I had a crap gin and tonic, it wounded me... (QUOTES!)

I need to find some suitable quotes for a project I'm working on and, as ever, as soon as I tried to think of some, my mind went completely blank.

So; I'm looking for some good quotes about being human, being asleep and being in love. Or even better, all three at once. Quirky and fun, rather than pompous. Stuff I was thinking of as possiblities includes Adaptation, Tenenbaums, Morrissey, Malkmus et al. Basically the stuff I cannot help thinking of (although I'm sure there's some stuff of use to me in there too). Anyhow, I'm certain some of you with memories unlike sievs, can help me. I see you all reeling stuff off all day!

But to stop this thread becoming purely about me needing help, feel free to quote until your heart's content! Quote's are always fun, aren't they?

To show you why I need help, and to get the ball rolling;

"Save me Jeebus!" Homer (Simpson)

"I thought I were great!" Bob (of Rita and Sue)

"And if I spare your life
it's because the tide is leaving,

Oh yeah!"

"I had a crap gin and tonic
It wounded me"

Last two = Malkmus

I came to crave your spastic touch
The honest way you move is too much
before we can change we could levitate

Erase mistakes of the forest greats
Fermented minds could make them shake
Permission granted for the wolverine stakes,

A Love to tear you off

The formless matters of the brain
Inequality of the drifting chain
A moment I could learn to love

The salutations to the levels above
We'll split the difference, call it quits
This is no new romantic blitz-krieg
Pull off the foil and watch it break
A whisper's crushing all the sympathy gates

-Malk + Jicks, Vague Space

I'm definitely leaning toward using one of these (highlighted in bold), and also the Malkmus one I posted earlier (although that doesnt really work in context, except being fun and I like it). But I can't decide!

I'm drifting between thinking this is an excellent idea, and a very bad one and a bit too *earnest*, in use. Any ideas?

"I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot." - Hansel (he's so hot right now)

"Yoink!" (thanks Flyboy. Listen to your friend Billy Zane, he's a cool guy.)

Shit, you think I could just get away with using these?
