Steve Gibson offers a bunch of interesting stuff on this web page:

My takeaway: Use a line from a favourite poem, and mix in one or more numbers you know well, plus some randomly selected symbols.
Example: Shall I compare thee to a summers day
Transmogrified becomes:
Shall:I19compare40Thee?01to30a353summer's21day!
This is not one of my passwords, BTW. ;-) The reason such passwords work is that they are easy for humans to remember, but difficult for other humans to guess.
