Being in an academic environment at the U, many people put quotes in their emails. I particularly liked this one I read today:
"I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody." (Lily Tomlin)
My favorite LT character is the "gum-chewing, wisecracking, snorting telephone operator Ernestine (famous for her lines "One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy" and "A gracious good morning to you ... Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?")
Check out her bio at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Tomlin.
Some phrases from Rex Stout (it's hard to jot them down in the car, when listening to a book on tape):
"Sanguinary verses"
"Pathetic bravado"
