Two small points.
First, you didn't tell us much about the kind of quote you needed. Short, like a line or two? Longer, like Mal's soliloquy in the BDM? A whole scene, like the flashback to the battle in The Message ("They don't like it when you shoot at them...")? That would make a big difference.
Second, if you've seen a suggestion here that you like, be sure to go back to the source and get the quote correct. Sometimes we don't remember our quotes verbatim, or leave bits out. Nothing's more embarrassing than writing a paper expounding on a misquote -- especially if your teacher turns out to be a browncoat.

I'm pointin' right at it!

I do intend to do my own homework. I was only asking for some friendly advice as to what real Firefly/Serenity experts thought of as their favorite quotes. Since the last time I watched Firefly was several months ago, and I can not predict the future, I did not have this project in mind at the time I watched it, so I could not remember any meaningful quotes. I was not asking any of you to write my report for me, and it is unfortunate that you (Murkeymurc)think I am a ignorant kid, but in reality I am at the top of my class. Oh well... I will not allow one comment to ruin my good mood about all the responses I got!
If a quote is something that really inspires you, the only reason you need to review it again to make sure you have the words verbatim. Quotes like that stay with you because the moment you hear them, they change you. Based upon your description, your teacher asked you to look inside yourself for one of those from your past. “Meaningful quotes” are only meaningful, in the context of the assignment, if they are meaningful to you.
If I had to choose one from Firefly, it would probably be when (sorry, going to paraphrase here for time) Mal explains to Simon that the fact that he was still flying was enough. However, there are other quotes that have stayed with me and had a greater influence on what I believe and how I live. My point was and still is that if you look for one from within, your report will write itself. As far as your assumptions about what personally think about you, you jumped to that conclusion yourself.
Regardless, everything here and before is just my opinions, take them or leave them.
