** {{spoiler|[[It Was His Sled|SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE]]!!!}}
*** [[Big No|Nooooo!]] You bitch! [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|YOU BITCH!]]
** [[Potter Puppet Pals]] videos, especially The Mysterious Ticking Noise.
*** Snape. Snape. Severus Snape. DUMBLEDORE! (When Alan Rickman turned up at the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere in Trafalgar Square, the crowd behind him were audibly chanting "Snape, Snape, Severus Snape!" Awesome.)
Line 95:
** Fear is the mindkiller. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
** [[Adaptation Displacement|In the form of the film's version of]] [[Large Ham|the Baron]], "HE WHO CONTROLS THE SPICE CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE!"
* ''[[Nineteen Eighty
** [[Big Brother Is Watching]] you.
** While we're at it, we were never at war with Eurasia.
Line 204:
** ''[[Animorphs (Literature)/Characters|My name is]]''
*** ''We can't tell you who we are, or where we live. It's too risky, and we've got to be careful. Really careful. Because if they find us... Well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you've got to know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you.''

* [[Gertrude Stein]]: A rose is a rose is a rose.
Line 247:
** '''Rocinante''': Horse thin and weak, almost always full of sores. This one was even documented by Cervantes in the Part II, Chapter III, when Carrasco declares that the first part of the novel got read…
{{quote| ''" by heart by people of all sorts, that the instant they see any lean hack, they say, 'There goes Rocinante.' "''}}
** '''Con la iglesia hemos topado''': Could be translated as "We have run onto the church". A case of ''both'' a meme and [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]], as the original phrase is actually ''"Con la iglesia hemos dado, Sancho"''. In the book it is literal (they examine a stone wall and determine it is a church) but it is ''always'' quoted to denote a situation in which the Church, bureaucracy or some other power that be is impeding your progress.
** Maybe they're just windmills, but [[They Might Be Giants]]...
* ''[[The Faerie Queene]]'': Malacasta is so sassy!
