Just started the (excellent) PDA Fear Itself, and the following made me laugh:
Fitz: "If I die pretending to be an accountant, I'll never forgive myself."

I found a couple more quotes that I like in the latest Discworld book that I read.
Also, I don't think I can mention a quote from that book without mentioning

One from a TV series that I started watching a couple of months ago that has been repeating itself in my head a lot for the past week or so - "I'm not being a martyr, mom, I'm being a c--t, 'cause that's what you make me when you get like this."

One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn’t be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so – but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence the act. He proffered people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous. This above all appeared to Trillian to be genuinely stupid, but she could no longer be bothered to argue about it.
