"How long do you intend to be tormented by the foolish words of that stupid guy.." - Konbini-kun, Yamai (yaoi chap.4)
Long one here, plus spoiler: "I have simply found myself experiencing a love-like interest towards your behavioural principals and identity. And were you to fall here I would find myself quite troubled. Would you mind if I, Ushimitsu Kiyoshirou, were to fall in love with you, Akashi?" - Kamisama no Iutoori Ni, said by Ushimitsu Kiyoshirou in chapter 12.
"Your youth will not wait for you! Everyone start running faster! We'll say goodbye to this second year with our sweat" - School Rumble, said by Tougou (not a main character), and if I recall correctly it's chapter 261...
"You aren't given that many chances in life" - Koukou debut, said by Haruna in chapter 1.
"I'll be waiting at the moon" - Itsuka no tsuki de aimashou, said by Nozomu (it's a one-shot).
"You said that the hours of every day are trash. However, that is the way someone lucky enough to welcome the next day thinks." - Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan. Aunt Monica, chapter 2?
And there are great quotes in Naruto, but I'll only mention two:
"Knowing that nobody needs you is the hardest thing in the world" - Haku, chapter 29
"Not it's your turn to look at me" - Sakura Haruno, chapter 54
I am only one man with one heart...Call me a demon, call me a monster...but I can't be the strongest forever!!! (whitebeard, one piece)
And my signature ofcourse.
"I already decided I'll do it, so even if I die fighting for that cause, that's fine with me."
"Who the hell do you think I am?!"

Quote from kanari-chan
My sig. Not sure if it counts as a quote. But it's very beautiful and meaningful to me.
That's a pretty nice spoiler there >.>
might want to put it in spoiler tags.
I only say that to you as it's your sig.
EDIT:
err, suppose I ought to contribute.
The endings of Gungrave episodes have some excellent lines:
Thing is, the emotion in this series is so powerful, so they are probably very reliant on context. Here's one of them.
"Like pouring wine into a glass, the men load bullets into magazines.
The sound of gunfire instead of toasts.
Bullets instead of hugs..." [ep 23]
You should look into dialogue driven series like the Monogatari series by Nisioisin, Spice and Wolf and Steins;Gate (to a lesser degree).
Here's a little snippet from Spice and Wolf, which is, in my opinion, built around the playful, whimsical banter between Lawrence and Holo [Yabai subs, not sure who did original TL]:
Holo: "If your soul could be pulled out and looked at, I bet it would be dyed in my colour."
Lawrence: "I think it would be more appropriate to say 'poisoned'."
Holo: "If you say that, I must be a deadly poison. You've completely fallen for this smile, after all." [s2, ep 9] {The whole conversation there is fantastic but I only took a few lines}
Eve Boland:"You can buy encounters, but you can't choose their quality. Treasure your encounter." [s2, ep 11]

I'm sure you have, they're just hard to remember 😛
I actually had to skim through some episodes to find those. Spice and Wolf has great dialogue but it's hard to find something only a few lines long rather than give an entire transcript 😛
EIT: By the way, I'm not sure you don't want quotations from dubs but the dub of spice and wolf is actually excellent, perhaps on par with the original.
Quote from Luffy, One Piece
it's not like thanks are something I can eat My dad also said that one lol it's true anyway...
Quote from Lena, Saver
Thinking of death before you fight? Do you want me to dig your graves all my life? So- Everyone must survive It's indeed very Lena.
Quote from Sei, Jisatsutou
We should not simply take, nor should we only give, we should become closer to the island. It's okay for us to live within the never-ending cycle of life that's quite a deep one, right? for ppl who got hard time thinking about your purpose of living. that's one of the manga for you.

All the Code Geass ones are the ones I'd say are the best.
"Even if you cried afterwards it still wouldnt move me." I can't remember what manga this is from but it was pretty hillarious if you know what I mean 😉
"Only in death shall we be free. Only while living shall we be shackled and bound, our earthly bodies sickly and frail. But in death we will have truly lived for it is the culmination of our experiances." -Ashra
"Didn't your mother ever teach you not to waste food." Wild Ones
This might be the funniest, From Legend Of The Sun Knight:
I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight. The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs is one of the three largest religions on this continent.As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.
To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.“The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human trashes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!” Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

You know you have one word misspelled in your sig that completely changes the meaning of the quote from what you'd logically assume it should be? I can't believe it's intentional, since it makes little sense the way it's worded now.
