Caveat: Right now is sometime!

"Me get it, cookie is sometimes food. You know what? Right now is sometime!" – Cookie Monster, after a lecture by some other character, urging moderation.

[broken link! FIXME] Cookie-monster3-7769871237963363 I miss Cookie Monster.   And I love surfing the tvtropes.org website.  I can find quotes like that, and spend hours and hours surfing a deeply ironical, often very well-written (mostly by vaguely anonymous volunteers a la the wikithing), pop-culture semiotician's paradise. 

It claims, "This wiki is a catalog of the tricks of the trade for writing fiction."  No, it's not that – it's much more.  It's a tool for navigating pop culture, and a database of semiotic trivia.  I can't recommend it more highly.
