-You know who's going to inherit the world? Arms dealers. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other.
-Some of the most successful relationships are based on lies and deceit. Since that's where they usually end up anyway, it's a logical place to start.
-Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova, model of 1947 more commonly known as the AK-47 or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9-lb. amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It will shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy even a child can use it, and they do.
God, that movie is just so cynical, I love it.

Damn it, you stole the quotes I was going to post.
Anyway, here are some good quotes from even better movies:
American History X
"[showing his tattoo of a swastika] DO YOU SEE THIS!? THIS MEANS NOT WELCOME!" - Derek Vinyard
"I believe in death, destruction, chaos, filth, and greed." - Daniel Vinyard
"So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it" - Daniel Vinyard
Battle Royale
"If you hate someone, you take the consequences." - Teacher Kitano
A Clockwork Orange
"Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!" (This was said while listening to Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony) - Alex
"Choice. The boy has no real choice, has he? Self-interest, the fear of physical pain drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. Its insincerity was clearly to be seen. He ceases to be a wrongdoer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice" - Prison Chaplain
Goodfellas
"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States." - Henry Hill
