space-bees:

          "I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth and
          indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly
          frame the earth seems to me a sterile promontory; this most
          excellent canopy the air, look you, this mighty o'erhanging
          firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire; why, it
          appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of
          vapours. What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how
          infinite in faculties, how like an angel in apprehension, how like
          a God! The beauty of the world, paragon of animals; and yet to
          me, what is this quintessence of dusk. Man delights not me, no,
          nor women neither, nor women neither."

Aww, Withnail, bless your little boots.  He doesn’t quite get the words right, but as Algernon Moncrieff says at the beginning of The Importance of Being Earnest, “anyone can play accurately - I play with wonderful expression.”  Lawds.  I memorized this soliloquy because of this film.
