Isaac: "Listen to me. This is real freedom, freedom to own property, make a profit, make your life. The West, so afraid of strong government, now has no government. Only financial power."
JC Denton: "Our governments have limited power by design."
Isaac: "Rhetoric--and you believe it! Don’t you know where those slogans come from?"
JC Denton: "I give up."
Isaac: "Well-paid researchers - how do you say it? - 'think tanks,' funded by big businesses. What is that? A 'think tank'?"
JC Denton: "Hardly as sinister as a dictator, like China’s Premier."
Isaac: "It’s privately-funded propaganda. The Trilateral Commission in the United States for instance."
JC Denton: "The separation of powers acknowledges the petty ambitions of individuals; that’s its strength."
Isaac: "A system organized around the weakest qualities of individuals will produce these same qualities in its leaders."
JC Denton: "Perhaps certain qualities are an inseparable part of human nature.
Isaac: "The mark of the educated man is the suppression of these qualities in favor of better ones. The same is true of civilization."

Just one of the reasons why I still consider Deus Ex, a game that's over ten years old, to be awesome. That's not even a discussion with any of the major characters, merely a bartender in Hong-Kong.

"There is no truth in the news and no news in the truth."

Still fits with the media today but the origin is in Soviet during the 30's-40's when the two major papers were Pravda (Truth) and Izvestia (News - the Communist Party's official newspaper)

Got to love xkcd.

My personal favourite happens to be a 3 page long extract from a scanner darkly by philip k dick (so the term 'quote' being used lightly there), but here's a different one:
In the beginning, the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry, and has widely been regarded as a 'bad move'
