I was just watching 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time and thought of something...

"I touched the black monolith and all I got was the idea for this lousy t-shirt."

Here's something that made me chuckle, related to computer programming:

"To paraphrase P. J. O'Rourke, making fun of VB is like hunting dairy cows with a rifle and high-powered scope."

Heard this on an episode of a TV show I like, and thought it was appropriate for the site:

"When the game is over, the king and the pawn go into the same box."

I came across this interesting one on StackOverflow:

"Once you think you completely understand something (like the notion of "polygon"), a generalization will turn up that shows you that you're just getting started. This principle applies even when you've already taken this principle into account, which is to say: You're never done."
