Ahhh yes, Woody Allen. Here are a few more from one of my favorites, Love and Death

I prefer his earlier, less "cerebral" movies. Although they didn't have anywhere near the memorable lines, who can forget the following scenes:

Woody playing the cello in a marching band, or arguing with bank employees over what his hold-up note says in "Take the Money and Run."

Woody trying to order lunch for the revolutionaries in "Bananas."

Pretty much the entire movie, "Sleeper!"

Cerebral? Love and Death is anything BUT cerebral. Even if the movie is an exercise at discovering the meaning of life, nothing in the movie can possibly be taken seriously. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. I consider it to be in the same opus as Bananas, Sleeper, and Take the Money and Run.

Since you brought it up, here are a few good ones from Sleeper:

"I haven't seen my analyst in 200 years. He was a strict Freudian. If I'd been going all this time, I'd probably almost be cured by now."

"Science is an intellectual dead end, you know? It's a lot of little guys in tweed suits cutting up frogs on foundation grants."

"When I asked my mother where babies came from, she thought I said 'rabies.' She said you get them from being bitten by a dog. The next week, a woman on my block gave birth to triplets... I thought she'd been bitten by a great dane."

Cheers!
