Welcome, new person! I took the liberty of fixing the links which had extra periods in them.

Whoops!

Thanks!

Just found a good one while archive-diving. Faye in 641:

Quote
Different countries have different veins of bread running beneath them -- Germany has vast pumpernickel deposits, while the French export more than a million tons of baguette shale each year. America has pungent sourdough caverns in the West, and in the Midwest there's lots of wheat sinkholes.

Wonder Bread, of course, comes from New Jersey.

Faye: He's skipping down the street.  He is SKIPPING.  You two WEREN'T at the hospital the whole time, were you!

Dora: I'm not sayin' anything.  Although I'm surprised he's not too sore to skip.

Faye:  A bluebird just landed on his shoulder!  Random pedestrians are joining him in a complicated dance routine!


This interaction between Faye and Dora's my all time favorite.

By a wide, wide margin, my favorite QC quote is...

"Is it true that some people eat other people's poop as a fetish?"

Although my favorite gag is the "LOL FALL IN LOL" bucket.

I have finally decided on my favorite QC quote: 

It's...peaty?  Is that the right word?  But there's also some vanilla
 and caramel in there.  And maybe a little bit of... old leather?

That's weird.  Last night it just tasted like horrible burning.

I just reread the "Hanners and Sven go on a date" ark from the 1750ies onward. One of my favourite QC moments (though not really a single quote) is definitely in there: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1760

Hanners: Could you explain how, exactly, Sven would "seduce" me?
Faye: Okay, here goes. First he takes you shopping at that store with all the cute little organizational bullshit and buys you whatever you want. Then you eat at that vegan café that wins "Cleanest Dining in the Valley" every year. After dinner, you go back to your place, where you watch a movie about fonts he rented. When the movie ends, he turns to you, looks deep into your eyes... and offers to clean your kitchen."
Hanners (blushing): Th-that wouldn't work.

This is so great!

As a huge metal fan, I can't possibly overlook the entirety of strip 666.

http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=666

However, my personal favorite quote has to be from 336

Faye: Goddamnit, I've been flummoxed by someone with the IQ of a herring.
Marten: A herring given to surprising insight, at times.
Raven: Herrings are pretty birds, so I'll take that as a compliment.

I especially love Faye's line because she used the word "flummoxed" -- not one you hear much nowadays.  8-)

Probably resonates because of the t-shirt... which must be out of print.  It's not at TopatoCo, but I found this...
