Not so much a quote, as a vocabulary word that really ought to be much more widely used:
"Podsnappery" : insular complacency and blinkered self-satisfaction; the
behaviour or outlook characteristic of Dickens's Mr Podsnap in Our Mutual Friend.

"Well, I was about to flap my arms and fly to the moon, but if you want me to wait-" from Faith of the Fallen
