"What does God need with a starship?"
"Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence."
McCoy in the new movie.
"I have a question, sir."
"Yes Data, what is it?"
"What is death?"
"Now, is that all? Oh, Data, you're asking probably the most difficult of all questions. Some see it as a changing into an indestructible form, forever unchanging; they believe that the purpose of the entire universe is to maintain that form in an earth-like garden which will give delight and pleasure through all eternity. On the other hand, there are those who hold to the idea of our blinking into nothingness. That all of our experiences and hopes and dreams, merely a delusion."
"Which do you believe, sir?"
"Considering the marvelous complexity of the universe, its clockwork perfection, its balances of this against that, matter, energy, gravitation, time, dimension, I believe that our existence must be more than either of these philosophies. That what we are goes beyond Euclidean or other "practical" measuring systems, and that our existence is part of a reality beyond what we understand now as reality."
- Nagilum as Data and the real Picard "What's happened? What is the meaning of all this?"
"It's about the future, Madam Chancellor. Some people think the future means the end of history. Well, we haven't run out of history quite yet. Your father called the future 'The Undiscovered Country'. People can be very frightened of change."
"You've restored my father's faith."
'And you've restored my son's."
- Azetbur and Kirk
"No, no you can't get away. From hell's heart I stab at thee...for hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee."
- Khan, to Kirk as he uses his final moment to curse and doom his enemy.
"I'm gonna miss this ship. She went before her time."
"Someone once told me that 'time' is a predator that stalks us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all Number One, we're only mortal."
"Speak for yourself, sir. I plan to live forever." (steps over to Picard's ruined captain's chair) "I always thought I'd get a shot at this chair someday."
"Perhaps you still will. Somehow I doubt this will be the last ship to carry the name Enterprise. (taps communicator) Picard to Farragut, two to beam up."
- Picard and Riker's last moments aboard the Enterprise-D "'All I... ask is a tall ship and a star... to steer her by.' You... you could feel the wind at your back in those days. The sounds of the sea... beneath you, and even if you take away the wind and the water... it's still the same. The ship is yours. You can feel her. And the stars are still there, Bones."
- Captain James T. Kirk
