This xkcd comic has been instrumental to me.
I wrote a command-line utility a couple of years ago that I use myself regularly to generate secure and memorable passwords
https://github.com/ctsrc/Pgen
With this tool you can also see how many bits of entropy the passphrase generation settings you are using will result in.
For example, generating a 5 word passphrase using the long wordlist
pgen -l -n 5
will yield a passphrase like:
joyous embolism outsider evasion mashed
And when we ask the tool for the entropy with these settings
pgen -l -n 5 -e
it will tell us:
Current settings will create passphrases with 64.62 bits of entropy.
And hey, if you have reason to not trust the randomness capabilities of the program or your computer guess what :)
My program supports the use of physical dice to generate your password.
Have a look, try it out yourselves :D
