How about this gem from Fallout 3:

"I am Three Dog: Jockey of Discs and Teller of Truths"

Fallout:

Master: The Unity will bring about the master race. Master Master! One able to survive, or even thrive, in the wasteland. As long as there will be differences, we will tear ourselves apart fighting each other. We need one race! Race! Race! One goal! Goal! Goal! One people... to move forward to our destiny. Destiny.

Overseer: There is a bad place where the bad mutants come from. It is bad. Vault is good. Please, go destroy bad place. (This dialogue is only possible if your main character's Intelligence is REALLY LOW)

Vault Dweller: What is the Brotherhood of Steel all about anyway?
Darrel: The Brotherhood is a collective of men and women who have dedicated their lives to the preservation of technology.
Vault Dweller: I've heard that you people sacrifice puppies.
Darrel: Sacrifice puppies! Where the hell did you hear that one? Don't believe everything you hear in the wastes, they're all a bunch of pathetic lunatics.
Vault Dweller: Everyone is a lunatic outside the Brotherhood of Steel?
Darrel: Yes... a... well... a... No. It's just people don't even try to understand what we're all about.
Vault Dweller: Well?... I think you guys might be a little kookie myself.

Set: I am Set. Why do you tread my shadow?
Vault Dweller: I am the bringer of death. Fall to your knees and beg for mercy... Or give me a sandwich, I'm pretty hungry.

Though our enemies crowd around us, we tread the blessed path! In a moment I will light the rings, and all who believe... shall be saved
prophet of truth, halo 3, the covenant.

"Don't expect mouth to mouth"- Waluigi, Mario Power Tennis

Gan in Riven, part of the Myst series after you use the trap book a certain time.

"I don't know where you got the brilliant idea to trap yourself but... thank you!"

From Planescape: Torment, also describing the central theme behind the game. Such a powerful question.

One I liked was of Andrew Ryan in Bioshock.

In my opinion, Reaver in Fable 2 is a Goldmine of good quotes. I wish I could remember some of them, but sadly I cannot. At one point he blatantly says right in front of you that, while you were gone helping him, he began to wonder whether the Big Bad of the game, Lucien, would be willing to pay a large amount of gold to get you. Turns out, as Reaver says, the Big Bad is willing to and is coming to meet with Reaver very soon. The cruel irony? Lucien, instead of negotiating, betrays Reaver just after you find out Reaver has betrayed you and begins tearing Reaver's City apart just to find you. Reaver finds out at the same time you do, comments on the cruel irony and then helps you escape.

A second example is when you escape the mansion and Reaver states that, now he is no longer under attack, he plans to abandon the player (More accurately, "I'll just be going now..."). Just as he takes a few steps towards the ship, the Big Bad blows it up (in which case, Reaver then replies "...Or not.").

The quotes themselves are much funnier than the storyline, in any case.

The classic NES games always had the best quotes.

Although Street Fighter II (for SNES) had some good ones as well.

The Secret of Monkey Island is a classic game for great quotes. For example:

Guybrush: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Carpenter: A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can’t chuck wood.
Guybrush: But if a woodchuck could chuck and would chuck some amount of wood, what amount of wood would a woodchuck chuck?
Carpenter: Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?
Guybrush: A woodchuck should chuck wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood, as long as a woodchuck would chuck wood.
Carpenter: Oh shut up.

Some more quotes from KotOR;

Half-Life 2.

Gordon Freeman dies and an NPC says, "Dibs on the suit" - cheeky f****r!!

From Mass Effect 2, an overheard conversation in the spaceport section of the Citadel:

"Now feel the weight of this slug! This is a 20-kilo projectile! Every five seconds, an Everest-class dreadnaught accelerates one of these to 1.3 percent of lightspeed! This results in an impact energy of 20 kilotons, the same yield as the city-buster that was dropped on Hiroshima on Earth! That makes Sir Isaac Newton the deadliest bastard in space! Can any of you maggots tell me Newton's First Law?"

"Sir! An object in motion stays in motion, sir!"

"No credit for partial answers, maggot!"

"Sir! Unless acted upon by an outside force, sir!"

"That's right! Now, I dare to assume that you maggots know that space is empty. When you pull the trigger, this projectile is going to hit something. It may be an enemy ship. It may be the planet behind that ship. It may miss completely, head off into deep space, and hit somebody ten thousand years from now. But I guarantee that somewhere, someday, it is going to ruin somebody's day! And that is why we wait for the damn computer to give us a damn firing solution! We do not 'eyeball it', Ensign Chung! This is a goddam weapon of mass destruction! We are not cowboys shooting from the hip!"

"Sir, yes sir!"
