We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.
I'll just copy paste the ones I have on my Facebook. The last two are the only serious ones, relatively speaking, but what the hell.
"You are not special. You are not a
beautiful or unique snowflake. You are
the same decaying organic matter as
everything else."
"Our generation has had no Great Depression, no Great War.
Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives."
"You are not your job.
You are not how much you have in the bank.
You are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not your fucking Khakis.
You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.
You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of
the world."

Forrest Gump: I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir.

Science is more then a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking,
a way of skeptically interrogating the Universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility.
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those tho tell us that something is true,
to be skeptical of those in authority, then we are up for grabs for the next charlatan,
political or religious, that comes ambling along. - Professor Carl Sagan

"My three delightful children are my only chance at a second life, or even an immortal one. And I'll tell you something; if I was told to sacrifice them to prove my devotion to God and admire the man who said, "Yes, I'll GUT MY KID to show my love of God."

The general misunderstanding of what Fawkes actually stood for and who he is and what he actually wanted to do, which was to end the slightly more egalitarian Protestant revolution in England by restoring Catholic domination (and had that worked, modern-day Britain would look more like a fascist police state than it would an anarchist commune), pisses me off to a certain extent. As a movie though, it wasn't that bad.
I think it's more a reference to what Guy Fawkes represents to the English than to his actual personal political goals. Alan Moore knows his history, can't comment on the movie though.

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

lol no, just kidding
The original reference is from the works of Aleister Crowley I believe.
P.S. If you haven't read the graphic novel, it's about a million times better than the movie.
