Your best Trek quotes

[AntonyF]

For a small new feature at TrekToday, I'm after your favorite Trek quotes.

Please read the following BEFORE you post however:

• I'm not after an exhaustive list -- just the cream of the crop, iconic or memorable Trek lines.
• Please include the quote accurately (search on Google if in doubt)
• Include who said it, and where (show/film)
• Please no other chatter - I need to be able to process this thread quckly.

Thanks!

"So this is a huge victory for the good guys! This may even be the turning point of the entire war. There's even a "Welcome to the Fight" party tonight in the wardroom. So...I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all...I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing: a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can life with. I can live with it.

Computer, erase that entire personal log." - Captain Benjamin Sisko, Deep Space Nine, In the Pale Moonlight

Star Trek 2
Spock: If I may be so bold, it was a mistake for you to accept promotion. Commanding a starship is your first, best destiny; anything else is a waste of material.
Kirk: I would not presume to debate you.
Spock: That is wise. Were I to invoke logic, however, logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Kirk: Or the one.
Spock: You are my superior officer. You are also my friend. I have been and always shall be yours.

McCoy: Where are we going?
Kirk: Where they went.
McCoy: Suppose they went *nowhere*?
Kirk: Then this will be your big chance to get away from it all.

Star Trek III
Kirk "The word is no. I am therefore going anyway."

McCoy at least 2 or 3 times "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?"

Star Trek IV
Kirk "Oh, him? He's harmless. Part of the free speech movement at Berkeley in the sixties. I think he did a little too much LDS."

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise, it's continuing mission:"
"To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations,"
"To boldly go where no one has gone before."
Picard, Kirk and Archer in TATV's last scene.

"Well, let me guess. You're either lost, or desperately searching for a good tailor!"
"Guess again!"
(Klingons beat Garak up, camera cuts to Garak in sickbay)
"I can't believe you're not pressing charges!"
"Really doctor, there was no harm done."
"They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle!"
"Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos."

Garak, a bunch of Klingons and dr. Bashir in "The Way of the Warrior"
