digg

That's hot.

Ugh, whats with popup's USAToday. For shame!

But he just ripped off Columbo.

Best political quote of the last 25 years:

Admiral Stockdale at the 1992 VP debate:

"Who am I and what am I doing here?"

What about "I'll be back" by the Arnold?

Or "Say hello to my little friend!!" I think these are more recognizable than some of those on that list.

"I have had it with these ***** snakes on this ***** plane!"

There is no prouder achievement apparently than being ranked #17.

I thought it was uncle that said one mooooore thing.

I'll be the first to say it: I am sick and tired of lists that start off with number one. Guess what, I'm not going to care what #19 is when you show me the most memorable quote right off.

Digg is so ridiculous. An article claiming to have the top 25 quotes and the one they pick to put in the title is Steve ***** Jobs.

What a ***** poor list. Having two BS 9/11 quotes doesn't get you bonus points in my book either, ridiculous.

I agree with 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 11, 19, 22, and 25, other than that the rest are crap.

Not to mention: Whats with the title of this digg? Why not "Lame list of 25 most memorable quotes, most of them not really memorable at all".

I'd take Bill Gates "oops, thats not suppose to happen" during the BSOD that happened while showcasing 98 over Steve Jobs. THAT was memorable, hilarious too. As for Steve Jobs, just about nothing he says sticks... not nearly as much as his cult member's rantings do.

@axpdocbrown: The Apple crowd came to Digg in the early days, and Apple's forward-looking aesthetic meshes well with Digg's democratic news theme. I myself was anti-Apple for a long time, because I was forced to use Macs in school. After being able to work on one outside of just Pro Tools and the like, however, I have to say that I admit Macs are nice machines. I am writing this from a QuadCore Mac Pro, and I love my computer. Yes, I am a nerd. And proud.

They should change #3 on the list to:

"If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!"

"You can't handle the truth!" is #9? Where's "I'll be back!" or "Asta la vista baby!"? And "Let's roll?" as #1? I don't remember ever hearing that one. Another sign of American media telling you what they want you to hear.

"what"s no country i ever heard of, they speak english in what? say what again mother *****!" This list sucks but it's ok cause no one reads USA today cause it's such a ***** paper and you'd expect this kinda crap from them. And "Lets roll" does not deserve to be number one, c'mon.

Crap, isn't duggmirror working on this one?

The Internet is not a dump truck. It's a series of tubes.

If they're going to allow a movie and TV quote in there, I can think of dozens more memorable quotes than the hokey they listed.

My personal favorite...

"Oh *****, look what I've done."
-Steve Wynn (immediately after he ripped a $139 million dollar Picasso painting he just sold)

and obgyns can't practice their love on patients...

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Top 25 AMERICAN quotes. For most of them the rest of the world couldn't care less and remember Digg is an international site, is it not?

If you're going to have a Steve Jobs quote, than you need a Bill Gates quote.

"Who would ever need more than 640k of RAM?"

Love this one:

--- Get away from her, you bitch!
(Aliens)

Are you kidding me. We have quotes like...
- "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."
- "I'm a unit er not a divider"
and the list goes on.

and the nr. 1 is "Let's roll.".
Common!

This list is complete *****. Why did the poster single out one quote, that's near the bottom of the list?

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidness

aka

Let's post some ***** on digg and see what happens.

"ask not what your country can do for you..." what the hell? Who wrote this list a 13 year old?

Buried for Apple Fanboyism..

Feel free to bury me down as well!

I thought Nancy said 'Just say Yo!'.
Would explain a lot about my misspent youth...

Developers, developers, developers!

I am one of the 98% of the world's population that is NOT american. I recognise three of these quotes. Where are the memorable quotes which the rest of the world would recognise? Folks, there is a world outside the US of A.

it's sad that the media will STILL milk a such a huge tragedy just to look more patriotic. the conversation probably went like this:

"we need to sell more papers. What do we do?"
"I've got it! let's do a list of memorable quotes, and at #1 we'll put that 9/11 quote! people will love it!"
"i have no idea what you're talking about, but ok..you handle it!"
"what should the other quotes be?"
"i don't know...google it and pick the first ones you see"

yeah i'm a bit of a cynic.

What a ***** list. There's a couple or so I've never even heard, and many are lower on the list than they are in terms of what Americans would consider more memorable. I think they'd remember "Where's the beef" over the Challenger explosion quote, for example.

Plus, give me a break, unless you watch Apple keynotes, who the hell is gonna know the "one more thing" crap? Get the Apple zealots out of the list-making process already. You might as well have thrown in "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS" from Balmer.

"Next week... 25 books that made an impact"

After this list, I can't wait..!

umm what about

"oh the humanity"

Did anyone see the apple banner ad at the top? Another PC v. mac ones that isn't on the apple site...

This list is absolute crap. Absolutely.

Anyone outside of the Apple community would barely know this phrase. The only other platform where it would probably be heard is in parody of Jobs himself.

The whole list has terrible quotes on it. Of all the movie quotes to be on there, why is "You can't handle the truth!" on there? Are you telling me that there are no other good movies than A Few Good Men? Come on.

You may consider me an Apple fanboy. I try to convince my friends and family to purchase Apple machines. That's my bias. I like them, I admit it, and I try to promote Apple.

However, I'm marking this story as lame. This is not an Apple story. This is an offbeat news story, with one mention of Apple. Are "Friends," "Devil Wears Prada," "Something's Got to Give," and countless other movies/tv shows Apple movies because they have some Macs in the background? That's the logic here.

And look! Apple makes the top of Google!!

No Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. quotes?

I'm with mikeosx, no "I have a dream" or "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"???

I thought it was Colombo's quote (70's TV detective)

"All Your Base Are Belong To Us"

WTH. What about "Trust no one." What about "The truth is out there." WHAT ABOUT "I want to believe." Damn this list to hell.

There's a new Die Hard movie coming out and they missed "Yippee cay aye *****!"

why not "26 Most Memorable Quotes".. ;).. the 26th guy's quote is not remembered just becoz of the number 25.. but not bcoz of his quality(or impact) of quote

"What did the 5 fingers say to the face? SLAP!"

What! Why is "you can't handle the truth" on there but no "Luke, I AM YOUR FATHER!!!" what a jip!

"I guess this is why we're not shipping yet?" - Bill gates, attempting to joke after Windows 98 crash during worldwide public demonstration.

"I Have a Dream"

Mission Accomplished!
...I will NEVER forget this one!
