My favorite musical of all time, A Little Night Music, is rife with great lines (some of which have already been recounted here). A few more:

CARL-MAGNUS: You're a good wife, Charlotte.
CHARLOTTE: That's a comforting thought to take with me to town, dear. It just may keep me from cutting my throat on the tram.

FREDERIK: Desiree, would you...I can't even say it.
DESIREE: Say it, dear.
FREDERIK: Would you--
DESIREE: Of course. What are old friends for?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

The Dialogue between Tony and Maria @ The Gym (basically all the lines from their meeting but these two lines hit me like no other)
Maria: "But of course... they are the same."
Tony: "It's so much to believe..." As delivered well on the Tony Awards Broadcast in 2009.

From Follies, my favorite part of my favorite song because posting the whole song would stretch things way too far.

Could I leave you?
No, the point is could you leave me?
Well I guess you could leave me the house,
Leave me the flat
Leave me the Braques and Chagalls and all that.
You could leave me the stocks for sentiment's sake
And ninety percent of the money you make.

And from Sunday in the Park With George

Look, I made a hat
Where there never was a hat
