Best Trek Quotes Thread

Always my favorite, from Bones: "In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that and perhaps more, only one of each of us. Don't destroy the one named Kirk."

For me, too. And De Kelley's delivery of this speech was just sublime.

Another favorite, from Charlie X, when Kirk tells Charlie: "There are a million things you can have in this universe and a million things that you can't have. It's no fun facing that, but that's the way things are!"
 
From STID:

Spock: I am expressing multiple attitudes simultaneously. To which are you referring?

Kirk: Mr. Chekov, did you break my ship?
 
Here's a great conversation concerning the transporter.

Pulaski: Captain, if this hadn't worked? If...

Picard: It would have been necessary to beam your energy into empty space.

Pulaski: Why should I be concerned about having my atoms spread across the galaxy? I imagine that's what's going to happen every time I get into the damn thing.

"Unnatural Selection" TNG
 
How about this one which sums up Spock and Kirk

Edith Keeler to Spock: "You? At his side. As if you've always been there and always will. "
 
"Unnatural Selection" TNG

I actually liked Pulaski a lot more than Crusher. Maybe it's because I started watching TNG during the second season, but although she's a poor man's McCoy, she has more personality than Beverley, who basically never did anything except being the ship's doctor.

Didn't Pulaski save Picard's life? But I digress.
 
^^^That actually is a pretty powerful quote. It shows just how pathetic and desperate that character is.
 
PICARD: Headache. Headache. Surely you know what a headache is.
CRUSHER: Of course. But I don't often encounter them.

From "The Battle" (TNG). I find that one hilarious, because, sure, The Federation has very advanced medecine, but in order to eliminate headaches you'd have to alter the human body, which means genetic engineering, a big no-no in the Trek universe.
