Safe travels!!!
Poor denial-y bon bon.
I think that list is awfully loose with the definition of "catchphrase." I mean, "Ask not..." is a catchphrase?!?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Well, if people make references to it, puns on it and punchlines of it, I'd call it a catchphrase.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Be safe, msbelle.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
the news-related ones are just (eta: not "just" in a depreciated sense--but TV's acting a different mode for those) records of something that happened, not something designed for TV.
Yes -- there's a difference between "TV catch phrase" and "famous thing said on TV." Unless audiences were expecting Nixon to come back and say "I'm not a crook" again next week, it doesn't count.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Bon voyage, MsBelle!

What is even happening?
MSBELLE! Safe travels, and smooth getting acquainted with your very lucky son!
Which is why we fear you.

I have to admit--when I went into Orange County for work a lot, I said "Welcome to the OC, bitch!" every time I crossed the county line.
For lo, I am a loser.With arm movements?

I'd also disqualify:
"Space, the final frontier ..." (Capt. Kirk, "Star Trek")
on the basis of it was in the opening VO, and not technically a line from the show.
Same goes for:
"The truth is out there" (Fox Mulder, "The X-Files")
It's a tagline, not a catchphrase!
