Of recent memory,

Jayne Houdyshell's "F*** you, Nora!" has been my new favorite.

LaChanze at the beginning of Summer "Oh, we just threw that together." My life motto recently.

But from past musicals

"Now you watch your mouth
Watch your mouth Miss Effie White
'Cause I don't take that tone from some second-rate diva
Who can't sustain"

By "Broadway quotes" do you mean lines from Broadway shows or quotations about Broadway?

From the latter, my all-time favorite is from the late, great Larry Gelbart:

"If Hitler is alive, I hope he's out of town with a musical."

When Jeremy Piven abruptly left the revival of Speed-the-Plow, David Mamet told the press:

“I talked to Jeremy on the phone, and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury. So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer.”

I'm going to say either "be free. be whoever you are, do whatever you want to do, just as long as you don't hurt anyone" from Hair or "maybe some of us are different" from Wicked.

In close third is the "He ran into my knife ten times" from Chicago because I still laugh every time I hear it.
