The title character’s death speech from The Crater Lake Monster:
Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you

Ha! I’m in the middle of re-reading The World According to Garp. I’ll have to go back and watch Fire Maidens.
From Danger, Diabolik!
May flights of Jaguars sing thee to thy rest.
As Mike would surely know, from Hamlet, mostly.
Can’t forget the Algonquin sketch:
“Everyone thought that Joseph Campbell was tough, but that was just a myth.”
My favorite line from that sketch!
Both The Magic Sword and Puma Man mention Willa Cather’s birthplace and/or ancestral home.
Found it! “Ralph Ellison wants you.” As the pirates from Manhunt In Space are trying to coax the invisibility formula from Rocky Jones.

“Jane and Louise were leaving at once for their jobs in the city. So you all drove to the train to see them off.” “And to reenact the last scene of Anna Karenina.”

There’s this gem in The Beatniks considering how much of a Nintendo fan I am and how much I love Yoshi:
" “I was thinkin’ we could go down there, grab us some quick loot, go down to Mexico and be banditos!” “Yeah and we can then ride Yoshi to the Mushroom Kingdom.”"
“She’s a sexy Henry David Thoreau.” – Horrors Of Spider Island
Talking Batwoman elsewhere, reminded me of this one…
Villain - “This is the only exit”
Crow - “That’s one more than Sartre had”
