This is one that stands out in recent memory... warning!!! <<Gravity Falls SPOILER>>

 

"Hey, look at me... turn around and look at me, you one-eyed demon! You're a real wiseguy, but you made one fatal mistake... you messed with my family!" - Gruncle Stan to Bill Cipher, just before punching him into oblivion...

 

 

And a Steven Universe quote <<also a spoiler, for just-ins>>

 

 

Lapis: Steven, whatever you're doing, just stop. If we do everything they say, they might go easy on us.

Steven: But... they're mean! They hurt my friends, they hurt my face! They've got you here in prison!

Lapis: That's why we can't fight them...

Steven: That why we have to fight them!

From the novel We Are The Ants by Shaun David Hutchison.

 

"Your entire sense of self-worth is predicated upon your belief that you matter, that you matter to the universe.
But you don't.
Because we are the ants."
 
In context with the book, this quote is really strong.
 
Also, from another novel called Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman. 
 
"Dead kids are put on pedestals, but mentally ill kids get hidden under the rug."

Freddie Mercury's quote about hell has always stood out to me.

 

“Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you're going to meet down there!”

 

There's something about that mindset I love, joking or otherwise.

"There are those in our country today, too, who speak of the 'protection' of the country. Of 'survival'. The answer to that is: survival as what? A country isn't a rock and it isn't an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult!"

- Judge Haywood, Judgement At Nuremberg

“It is a general truism of this world that anything long divided will surely unite, and anything long united will surely divide.”

-Luo Guanzhong

 

Perhaps not as applicable to the modern world at large, but I believe that, in time, there may be yet another schism.  When and where is what we all wait for.

"This isn't revenge, it's punishment!" - Punisher.

 

"If Clark wanted to, he could use his superspeed and squish me into cement. But I know how he thinks. Even more than kryptinite, he's got one big weakness. Deep down, Clark's essentially a good person...and deep down, I'm not." - Batman.
