Sometimes if they stick in my head. I've written down a lot of passages from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy but that's mainly cos they're so funny.
But there are some special quotes I really like from my favourite books like Harry Potter and Eragon.

If I like a quote I like to wait until I reread it again. If I had it all the time it wouldn't seem very special.

My all-time favorite quote is R-rated, otherwise I would post it here. From the book House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski. Talks about the etymology of a certain swear word.

I always have a pretty little notebook handy so I can write down any particularily noteworthy passages. If I am reading several books on a certain topic, I get a notebook just for that.
