DO quote me on that...
Well, I've had a look around a few threads and even used the advanced search tool and can't find a thread of a similar nature so I'd like to ask you. What is your favourite quote(s) from Trek? Again, one from the whole franchise or one from each series......one that is so profound and deep, you've been patiently waiting for years to use it in a RL conversation to amaze and humble everyone with 'your' wit or philosophic nature
My one has to be 'Shut up Wesley!" (jk)

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.”

Re: DO quote me on that...
I like Q's quote to Picard about the glory of the universe in "Q who?"
I've also wanted to use Picards quote about the Borg to Lily in real life, though slightly modified "They invade our space and we fall back, I say no more, the line must be drawn here, no further" A modified version of that quote would be great to use in RL.

What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Would you use the Picard Quote to the Mrs when she's stealing the bedclothes and generally taking up too much of the bed?Teaos wrote:I like Q's quote to Picard about the glory of the universe in "Q who?"

"One damn minute, Admiral."
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

Re: DO quote me on that...
Ah, there are so many decent Trek quotes that can be used in real life - I sense another thread starting, or at least a thread drift.
Teaos, you're a Jeweler, surely you must have found a real life occasion to use the infamous phrase - "Its a faaaaaakee"

"You ain't gonna get off down the trail a mile or two, and go missing your wife or something, like our last cook done, are you?"
"My wife is in hell, where I sent her. She could make good biscuits, but her behavior was terrible."

Re: DO quote me on that...
Ha, hadnt thought of that but I have actually. Always amusing to tell someone their diamod ring isnt diamond. Or as the case is usually that their ruby ring isnt ruby. People tend to be very sus about buying diamonds but tend to over look the posibility of fake Rubies and emeralds.

Re: DO quote me on that...
You can always rely on Scotty for a good quote:
"Aye, sir. Before they went into warp, I transported the whole kit and kaboodle into their engine room... where they'll be no tribble at all."
"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me,"
I never knew he had a finger missing in RL! Lost it on the beaches of Normandy in WWII. Amazing

Nice.

I'll massacre your ass as fast

If I want to sound classy and commanding at the same time, I tell people "Make it so."
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,

I have used the phrase, "Aye, and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon."
For some reason, I get funny looks when I say that.
