"Father says there's a fish in the sea for everyone, but like, what if I want ALL the fish?" - A certainly bisexual Zora Princess in my Zelda Fic.

"Here? Now? Aww HELL no, Not on MY Wedding Day!" - Meiji as the Nine Tailed Demon lord tries to escape it's hell dimension to destroy humanity, and yes, on her wedding day.

"Every day we pretend to be gods, but at the end of the day we're merely human." - One of my RWBY OC's as a particularly catastrophic event happens.

"I need a shower, and not in a 'that was hot' way, like, I actually feel unclean after encountering that woman." - My pokemon protagonist after he encounters a Feme Fatale who works for team bad guy. (Narration makes it clear that he's very uncomfortable dealing with women like that) When his rival pries for more information. He replies with the fact that most feme Fatales know what they want and they're more than ready to do what's needed to get it. He also states that respects the gumption but not the...approach in the same breath.

"I know you like playing with people's minds, but trust me, that man's mind is not to be trifled with." Salem when Emerald asks why doesn't she just hypnotize Tobi into joining them.

“Why are we even here?” Harl Duns asked, resting by the bonfire one evening.
“Stupid question. It’s a strong point. Strongpoints are meant to be occupied. That’s how you win wars.” Grenn replied.
“Well, what if we don’t occupy it?”
“Then the enemy will.”
“Why would the enemy want to occupy it?”
“Because it’s a … are you mocking me?” Old Grenn kicked a rock into the fire in frustration.

I've got a couple. "Strangers Have the Best Candy" is seen on a t-shirt. "English is a stupid language," is from our faerie knight who speaks seven or eight languages, of which English in its current form isn't his first. And we have the new one. "Entropy comes for us all."

But, my absolute favorite comes from way, way down the timeline between characters who we haven't met, yet. Can't wait to get here! The italics are these two speaking telepathically, normal is English, or close enough, and as we can see they're a bit far from home. Only Niki, telepath and linguist and royal pain, can understand all three of them.

Niki looked positively delighted, and Jo could feel it in his mind. Her eyes widened in exasperation. No. No. No. Niki, we have to go home.

As usual, he ignored her. "We are strangers, exploring - "

If you say "strange new worlds" I'm going to strangle you.

" - our options. We would love a native guide, if you are available."

Wolf is going to kill me.

Live a little.

She raised her hands in preparation to smack Niki's head, and then remembered their audience, so she ran them through her hair in frustration instead. "Fine, you win," she muttered. She looked at this Lucien and smiled. It was a crappy smile and she knew it. She didn't fake smile well. "Take us to your leader, I guess."

"Am I translating that?" Niki asked with a cheeky grin.

"Do it and I'm telling Wolf I dropped you in transit. I don't care."
