While technically not a one liner that is tossed off, this is one of my favourite lines:
A suprise is usally when something someone knows all along turns out to be somthing different. Unforunatly I think I butchered it |

A one-liner is a one-liner. We accept all blood-types here. That works fine. Not sure if it has been listed either. Don't know if you butchered it, but it's close enough! Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father.

Actually Trevor's Star had been in Manticore hands for several years before Buttercup. That quote was Theisman quoting an interview with White Haven after the armistice describing Buttercup.

And followed by Admiral White Haven, "Remind me to discuss communication discipline with Admiral Yanakov." |

And of course Honor's line that prompted the question from Eloise to LePic, "Do you know the whereabouts of Officer Cachet?" |

That "quote" comes in so many different forms that it doesn't really matter if you can find it; The best discussion of the concept is at Honor's Dinner Party with Abigail and the other cadets. .
. . Answers! I got lots of answers! (Now if I could just find the right questions.) |

Not so much a LAC has such great missile defense as the SLN ships have such pathetic systems. |
