What is your favorite Trek Quote? A quote that held meaning in your life? For me its Picard's
"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."
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
"Star Trek: Rubicon" Season 1, Season 2 A new era, a new time, a new crew, a new ship, a new mission...
"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."- Jean-Luc Picard

    Of all the quotes of series and movie, there has been one that has always been a profound influence on me...

    "The right tool for the right job!" -- Captain Montgomery Scott.

    (Though "The more complicated you make the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain" comes close...)
    "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q, TNG: "Q-Who?"
    ^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...

    "Mr. Worf, villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged."

    "Maybe. But she or someone like her will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish--spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mr. Worf. That is the price we have to continually pay."

    "You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: 'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured...the first thought forbidden...the first freedom denied--chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom...and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged. I fear that today--"

    Picard: "Have we met before?"
    Sisko: "We met in battle. I was on the Saratoga at Wolf 359."

    The look of bottomless, incomprehensible sorrow on Patrick Stewart's face sells it.

    Too many to name. I learnt my complex English Vocabulary, and speech making abilities from Star Trek (not to mention social skills!).
    Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

    I hope STO get's better ...

    "The war is going very badly for the federation far worse then is generally known, starfleet command believes that in six months we may have no other option but to surrender." Captain Picard during the Klingon-Federation war.

    Khan (the ONLY Khan, damnit): "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!"

    Hatred. Just pure hatred, to the point that it clouded Khan's judgement even though the door was wide open to escape with a ship, his crew, and Genesis. His first officer begged and begged that they needed to leave, since they "won" already. But Khan's hatred of Kirk doomed them and allowed his nemesis to pull victory out from defeat with a terribly damaged Enterprise.

    And from earlier in the movie:

    Khan's First Officer: "They're still running with shields down."
    Khan: "Of course! We are one big happy fleet!... Ahhh, Kirk my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us that revenge is a dish best served cold?"
    (Relishes moment)
    "And it is cold, in space."

    Commander William T. Riker: [to Picard] It's worse than we suspected. The Mintakans are beginning to believe in a god. And the one they've chosen... is you.

    "Starfleet was founded to seek out new life -- well, there it sits! ...waiting."
    -Picard, speaking on behalf of Data



    "What do you think?"
    "It's vile!"
    "I know. It's so bubbly, and cloying, and happy."
    "Just like the Federation."
    "But do you know what's really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it."
    "It's insidious."
    "Just like the Federation."
    -Quark and Garak, on root beer.

    That's the episode that has my favorite quote from the entire series.

    Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "Horrifying. Dr. Barron, your report describes how rational these people are. Millennia ago, they abandoned their belief in the supernatural. Now you are asking me to sabotage that achievement, to send them back into the dark ages of superstition and ignorance and fear? NO!"

    I was deciding between the two from that episode, as both are equally hilarious. :D

    I like listening to TV series Picard and old Spock speak, they have a good speaking voice for sounding wise when they do. I have no ONE real quote I favor except for when a Klingon bursts out in a big belly laugh when laughing at someone for being weak or pathetic in their eyes. Like the instance I mentioned in another post, when that Klingon in the background of the court laughed at McCoys answer from that prison planet movie.

    Two hilarious lines from Way of the Warrior... well, the first one's a line:

    Quark: The Klingons!! First it was the Cardassians. Then it was the Dominion. Now, it's the Klingons!! How's a Ferengi supposed to make an honest living in a place like this?

    The second one, however, is an entire scene:

    Odo: Come on, Quark, move it along--you should be at the emergency shelter by now.

    Quark (Indignant): I'm not going to any emergency shelter--this is my bar, and I'm going to defend it!

    Odo: Really, and how do you plan to do that?

    Quark (Pulls out a box): With this!!

    Odo: You're going to hit them with a box?

    Quark: No, this is my Disruptor Pistol. The one I used to carry in the old days when I was serving on that Ferengi Freighter.

    Odo: I thought you were the ship's cook.

    Quark: That's right, and every member of that crew thought he was a food critic! And if the Klingons try to get through these doors... I'll be ready for them. (smugly opens box)

    Odo (Pulls out the piece of paper in the box): Dear Quark, used parts from your Disruptor to fix the Replicators. Will return them soon, Rom.

    Quark (furiously rips the note out of Odo's hands): I will KILL him!!

    Odo: With what?

    I tell you the last line in that scene was comedy gold, and my family and I sometimes use it in our everyday conversations--Mom, especially. :cool:

    It's a classic
    NMXb2ph.png
      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
      -Lord Commander Solar Macharius
