Here’s a few that stuck with me over the years:
“A circle looks at a square and sees a badly made circle.” --Jeff VanderMeer
“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” --Gustav Mahler
“If you trust in yourself. . .and believe in your dreams. . .and follow your star. . . you’ll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy.” - - Sir Terry Pratchett

As for my grammar, I believe that sentence fragments are an acceptable stylistic device when creating emphasis, at least in more informal settings. I would say comment sections qualify, wouldn’t you agree?
I have invested years of my life to learn how to spell, use proper grammar, structure my sentences and make a cogent point. Which is why I shall henceforth strive to insert a random motherfucking profanity in as many of my comments as I reasonably can.

I’m just here to bring to your attention Lev Grossman’s “The Magicians”, both the books and the assorted TV show, which is quite awesome in its own right, even if it diverges from the books by quite a bit. There’s a whole world of awesome outside of HP, and even if it wasn’t, I refuse to recast in my theater of the mind the extremely talented and deeply regretted Alan Rickman and Dame Maggie Smith.
I’m told the only correct position in such situations is to put one’s head between their knees and kiss their ass goodbye.
Then the 31st richest will just give away some of his money to stay below the threshold and…
Actually, nevermind. Nothing wrong with this plan, I say bring it on.
