The Undiscovered Country has some great lines.
Kirk: "Let them die!"
Sulu: "FLY HER APART THEN!"
Spock: "If I were human I believe my response would be go to hell"
It's an oldie, and the cast were old too, but it's still my favourite Star Trek film.

It was sheer fucking hubris
SPOCK: "There's an old Vulcan proverb. 'Only Nixon could go to China.''
"This is Captain Kurn of the Hegh'ta! We come to defend the Empire, and to follow the banner of Gowron!"
(I love the name of Kurn's ship, BTW. Translates as "everlasting death".

Also Spock: "An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the solution."
Spock is descended from Sherlock Holmes.
Or possibly Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Especially since TNG doesn't treat Moriarty as a holographic recreation of a real historical figure.
"He's not really dead. As long as we remember him."
Dr. McCoy, STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN
"I NEED my pain!"
Captain Kirk, STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER
Both hold very, very deep meaning for me, particularly after my grandfather passed when I was a senior in high school. (And years later my grandmother, whom I was extremely close to.)

"I am delighted that Worf is going to recover. You gambled, he won. Not all of your patients are so lucky. You scare me, Doctor. You risk your patient's lives and justify it in the name of research. Genuine research takes time. Sometimes a lifetime of painstaking, detailed work in order to get any results. Not for you. You take short cuts, right through living tissue. You put your research ahead of your patient's lives, and as far as I'm concerned that's a violation of our most sacred trust."

"Perhaps, somewhere, all your ends are written as indelibly as mine. But I choose to believe that your destinies are still your own. Maybe that's why I'm here-- to remind you of the power... of possibility. Maybe that's the good in-in seeing my future-- that I might remind you that, right up until the very end, life is to be worn gloriously. Because, till our last moment... the future's what we make it. So... go to war with each other. Or... join our Federation of Planets... and reach for the stars. The choice is yours."

I feel obligated to point out that Scotty and McCoy were both yelling "Spock! Get out of there!" until he took the lid off the pillar. Then they both shut up, because they both knew that that face-ful of hard radiation was all it took. He was, in fact, dead already.Scotty in TWOK:

After seeing Troi's command officer test in TNG, and what the solution ultimately was that she didn't consider all the times she took the test, I've always wondered if Scotty hadn't passed out whether he either would have went in himself or ordered one of the engineers to go in to repair it like Spock does?
I always thought it spoke volumes that Spock takes on the problem himself. He could of easily interjected to order someone in engineering to go in, or put the suggestion to Kirk as the only option in the no-win scenario. But he doesn't, and I think he doesn't because he knows Kirk would have tackled him before he got to the turbolift if he had told him what he was about to do. Spock, in the end, wasn't going to send Scotty or some engineering cadet in to die. The Enterprise was technically his ship at this point, and he was going to own the choice.
Shatner's reaction both to the line "he's dead already," where it hits him that Spock is about to die, as well the sheer look of horror when Spock gets up to come near him and Kirk realizes Spock is blind and walks into the divider, are what sells just how god-awful the situation is. Kirk looks just utterly defeated, especially at the final moment when he almost whimpers "no."

A human might not have been capable of withstanding the radiation long enough to make the repairs.
