"Borg? Sounds Swedish."
Lily Sloane in First Contact
Kira Nerys: "You're Marritza, aren't you?"
Gul Darhe'el: "You mistake me for that bug? That whimpering nothing? Ho-ho, you stupid Bajoran girl! Don't you know who I am? I'm youre nemesis! I'm your nightmare! I'm the Butcher of Gallitep!"
Kira: "The Butcher of Gallitep died six years ago. You're Amon Marritza, his filing clerk."
Gul Darhe'el: "That's not true, I am alive! I will always be alive! It's Marritza who's dead! Marritza, who was good for nothing but cowering under his bunk and weeping like a woman! Who would, every night, cover his ears, because he couldn't bear to hear the screaming for mercy of the Bajorans..."
[He breaks down and sinks onto his bunk, sobbing uncontrollably.]
Amon Marritza: "I covered my ears every night. But I couldn't bear to hear those horrible screams. You have no idea what it's like to be a coward. To see these horrors... and do nothing. Marritza's dead, he deserves to be dead."

Duet - DS9
"Up until about 100 years ago, there was one question that burned in every human, that made us study the stars and dream of traveling to them. Are we alone? Our generation is privileged to know the answer to that question. We are all explorers driven to know what's over the horizon, what's beyond our own shores. And yet the more I've experienced, the more I've learned that no matter how far we travel, or how fast we get there, the most profound discoveries are not necessarily beyond that next star. They're within us, woven into the threads that bind us, all of us, to each other. The final frontier begins in this hall. Let's explore it together."
Captain Archer in Terra Prime
"They used to say if man could fly, he'd have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon, or that we hadn't gone on to Mars, and then to the nearest star? That's like saying that you wished you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with catgut like your great great great great grandfather used to. I'm in command. I could order this. But I'm not because Doctor McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this. But I must point out that the possibilities, the potential for knowledge and advancement is equally great. Risk... Risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her."

"Open your eyes, Captain. Why is the Federation so obsessed with the Maquis? We've never harmed you. And yet we're constantly arrested and charged with terrorism. Starships chase us through the Badlands and our supporters are harassed and ridiculed. Why? Because we've left the Federation, and that's the one thing you can't accept. Nobody leaves paradise. Everyone should want to be in the Federation. Hell, you even want the Cardassians to join. You're only sending them replicators because one day they can take their "rightful place" on the Federation Council. You know In some ways you're even worse than the Borg. At least they tell you about their plans for assimilation. You're more insidious. You assimilate people and they don't even know it."

"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."
Spock in Amok Time
"Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved eight hundred lives, including your mother's and yours. I dare you to do better."

KIRK: Dr. Dehner feels he isn't that dangerous! What makes you right and a trained psychiatrist wrong?
SPOCK: Because she feels. I don't. All I know is logic. We'll be lucky to repair this ship and get away in time.

Dr McCoy: "He's dead, Jim."

KHAN: Ah Kirk, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold?
Star Trek: TNG
BORG: We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Star Trek: TNG "All Good Things.."
PICARD: We are what we are. And we're doing the best we can. It is not for you to set the standards by which we shall be judged!
Q: Oh, but it is, and we have. Time may be eternal, Captain, but our patience is not. It's time to put an end to your trek through the stars;

"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."

"If you lie all the time, no one is going to believe you, even when you're telling the truth."
"Are you sure that's the point?"
"Of course. What else would it be?"
"That you should never tell the same lie twice." -Bashir and Garak, about The Boy Who Cried Wolf
"The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination." -Garak
"You'd shoot a man in the back?"
"It's the safest way, isn't it?"
-Odo and Garak
"Someone once said "Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgment."
"That's rhetorical nonsense. Who said that?"
"You did, ten years from now."

"If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe." -Dr. Crusher
