Okay I'll play! It's an oddly non-quirky line for my WIP, but I like the way it flows (I had other fav lines but I realised last minute that if I posted any of them then I would be giving away the ending of Alex which would be kind of wrong):
"As such, while I would never make a deal with my prisoners to somehow give them benefits outside the law, they are nonetheless treated with the utmost respect by men who would otherwise not lose sleep over an unfortunate accident happening to one of their keep."

I like this one. It's probably the only bit of description I've written so far that doesn't sound completely awkward.
xD!
I actually churned out another pretty awesome one.
It must be something in the water. I must get drunk on it immediately.

Here's a moment from my WIP.
He threw open the door, expecting anything but the lightning-lit figure of Mrs. Urban clad in her streaming white lab coat, yellow gloves, goggles, and holding the mended jar in which, by some unlucky chance of light, the homunculus was fully and horrifically revealed.

As Xaphan the fallen angel saw it, a good girl was just a bad girl who hadn’t found the right sin yet.
It's more than a line, but...
“Well, technically darling you’re a chimpanzee, not an ape. Apes are larger. Less playful. And less couth. They use less imagery and fewer metaphors. Apes tend to write prose, while monkeys usually focus on poetry.”

I never write sci-fi, but apparently the forums inspire me:
"Kyja learned a very important thing the day that Harn walked into her shop: never, ever agree to repair a hovercraft that is riddled with bullet holes."

"Right now you’re a dimension away from her, and as far as I’m concerned you could still do with some distance."
él era el primer político les parecía tangente y no otra foto en la prefectura o en la escuelita federal
Translated (the scene is a funeral of a southamerican president in a timeless setting that is roughly equivalent to the 30's or 40's)
He was the first politician that seemed tangible to them and not just another picture at the prefecture or in the little federal school

I don't know. There's not much to choose from. How about:
The large barrels of rice and buckets of soggy greens and overcooked beans were always a welcome sight. Tasteless food was better than no food at all. The men were here to survive, not to live.
