Dr. Julian Karswell:
Ha ha, snakes and ladders. An English game, you wouldn't know it. You see, if you land at the foot of the ladder you climb all the way to the top. But if you land on the head of the snake, you slide all the way down again. Funny thing, I always preferred sliding down the snakes to climbing up the ladders. You're a doctor of psychology, you ought to know the answer to that.

There are a couple of lines from The Usual Suspects which have stuck in my mind since I first watched it.
The first is delivered by Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey), delivered superbly. Asked why he didn't shoot Kaiser Soze when he had the chance, he replies,
"How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"
The second is all about delivery (Spacey again), and context of when it's said. I think it's the last line of the film,
"And like that he was gone."

Ellerby: Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: lets people know you're not a homo; married guy seems more stable; people see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch; ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work.

Billy Costigan: You a psychiatrist?
Dignam: Well, if I was I'd ask you why you're a Statie making 30 grand a year. And I think if I was Sigmund fuckin' Freud I wouldn't get an answer. So tell me, what's a lace-curtain motherfucker like you doing in the Staties?

JOHN BRIGGS (On TV)
But, gay people don't have children of their own. If they don't recruit our children, they'd
all die away. That's why they want to be teachers, to encourage our children to join them
HARVEY MILK (ON TV)
How do you teach homosexuality? Like French? I was born of heterosexual parents, I was taught by heterosexual teachers in a fiercely heterosexual society. So then why am I homosexual? And no offense meant, but if it were true that children mimicked their teachers, you’d sure have a helluva lot more nuns running around
