There's the Quote of the Day thread in Mallory's....it's pretty much the same thing. 
"You've got to dance like nobody's watching, you've got to love like it's never going to hurt."

Well, let's see do we want ALL of them...or maybe just the first few??
Laughing -- now there's a real insight. Hellfire.
Did I do a whole life's laughing in that little time?
His shoulders hunched, strangling fury in his throat. He turned away with as much dignity as he could manage, and strode out 'into the sunlight, letting the door slam behind him. Hellfire! he swore to himself. Hellfire and bloody damnation.
He was so stunned that for a moment he could only gape at his hands and think, Hellfire. Hellfire and bloody damnation. What's happening to me?
That last one was for danlo..."Hellfire!" Covenant snapped. Her reproach made him suddenly angry. "Everybody in this whole business, you and" -- but he could not bring himself to say Lena's name" and everyone keep accusing me of being some sort of closet expert. I tell you, I don't know one damn thing about this unless someone explains it to me. I'm not your bloody Berek."

I seem to remember TC saying "Don't Touch Me!" a time or two...
My favorite passage (more than just a quote) in the series is in LFB:
"Are you a storyteller, Thomas Covenant?"
Absently, he replied, "I was, once."
"And you gave it up? Ah, that is as sad a tale in three words as any you might have told me. But a life without a tale is like a sea without salt. How do you live?"
Covenant folded his arms across the gunwales and rested his chin on them. As the boat moved, Andelain opened constantly in front of him like a bud; but he ignored it, concentrated instead on the plaint of water past the prow. Unconsciously, he clenched his fist over his ring. "I live."
"Another?" Foamfollower returned. "In two words, a story sadder than the first. Say no more-with one more word you will make me weep."
I don't know what it is about that passage, but I've always remembered it ever since my first reading 25 years ago
