I cant remember the book's name but i remembered one of the quotes.
"Though are enemies are strong we are stronger. They fight with anger we fight with heart. they choose to take this "disagreement" farther then it needs to go, we didnt even know there was something to bicker over.
Do you know what else seperates us from them?"
"Um. No sir."
A smirk crossed the captain's face.
"We will win."

I love this one, it´s from Harry Potter and the Order of the Fenix. It´s so.... dry....
'Well?' said Professor McGonagall, rounding on him. 'Is this true?'
'Is what true?' Harry asked, rather more aggressively than he had intended. 'Professor?' he
added, in an attempt to sound more polite.
'Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?'
'Yes,' said Harry.
'You called her a liar?'
'Yes.'
'You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?'
'Yes.'
Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, watching Harry closely. Then she said, 'Have a biscuit, Potter.'
'Have - what?'

"An expression of deep worry and concern failed to cross either of Zaphod's faces." - Hitchhiker's Guide
"One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating and repeating the very very obvious, as in It's a nice day, or You're very tall, or Oh dear you seem to have fallen down a thirty-foot well, are you all right? At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working. After a while he abandoned this one as well as being obstructively cynical and decided he quite liked human beings after all, but he always remained desperately worried about the terrible number of things they didn't know about." - again, Hitchhiker's Guide.[/quote]

'Why does that obstinate little voice in our heads torment us so?' he said, looking round the table. 'Could it be because it reminds us that we are alive, of our mortality, of our individual souls - which, after all, we are too afraid to surrender but yet make us feel more miserable than any other thing? But isn't it also pain that often makes us most aware of self? It is a terrible thing to learn as a child that one is a being separate from all the world, that no one and no thing hurts along with one's burned tongues and skinned knees, that one's aches and pains are all one's own. Even more terrible, as we grow older, to learn that no person, no matter how beloved, can ever truly understand us. Our own selves make us most unhappy, and that's why we're so anxious to lose them, don't you think?'

I have a few favorite quotes (my favorites seem to change everytime I read new books) 
They're both from the Farseer Trilogies by Robin Hobbe.
"Death is always less painfull and easier than life! You speak true. And yet we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make. Am I right?"
"When you cut pieces out of the truth to avoid looking like a fool, you end up sounding like a moron instead."
I love those two quotes.
