I'd quote Erikson here but I do believe Suze has already done that.

The only one that comes to mind is:'no one likes a smart ass" from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It was at the end of the shortest chapter that told a funny story about a tough problem scientists were working on when a young scientist swooped in and solved it. It's funnier in context.

“Tell me, Tool, what dominates your thoughts?' The Imass shrugged before replying. 'I think of futility, Adjunct.' 'Do all Imass think about futility?' 'No. Few think at all.' 'Why is that?' The Imass leaned his head to one side and regarded her. 'Because Adjunct, it is futile.” Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers. Between supposed brothers. | ||||

Oh, that's a good one. :). I was thinking of Caladan Brood though. Specifically, this one, which may as well be repeated:
Kallor said "I walked this land when the T'lan Imass were but children. I have commanded armies a hundred thousand strong. I have spread the fire of my wrath across entire continents, and sat alone upon tall thrones. Do you grasp the meaning of this?" "Yes," said Caladan Brood, "you never learn." This I say to your merciless, pretty woman. ;) | ||||

Okay, okay, one last Erikson quote. Brings a tear to my eye.

Apparently, I don't believe me, either.
"Have you come forth to grovel at my feet? Are you my first acolyte, then, eager for my rewards?" "Alas," the man replied, "you are mistaken, sir. Kruppe -this humble, weak mortal who stands before you- bows to no man, be he Jaghut or god. Such are the nuances of this new age that you are felled by indifference..." - Raest and Kruppe, Gardens of the Moon. | ||||

Crake on what causes problems with civilizations. From Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake.
“Watch out for art, Crake used to say. As soon as they start doing art, we’re in trouble. Symbolic thinking of any kind would signal downfall, in Crake’s view. Next they’d be inventing idols, and funerals, and grave goods, and the afterlife, and sin, and Linear B, and kings, and then slavery and war." | ||||

“We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.”
