They had us seeing just what we wanted to see, human beings who'd survived with dignity and bravery, everything entirely logical, right down to the building of the camp, the tattered clothing, everything. Now let's be sure we understand the danger of this. The inhabitants of this planet can read our minds. They can create illusions out of a person's own thoughts, memories, and experiences, even out of a person's own desires. Illusions just as real and solid as this table top and just as impossible to ignore!"

Scott : 
"I know about your authority, but the screens stay up."

Kirk :

to Leila

Kalomi : 
"I love you. I said that six years ago, and I can't seem to stop repeating myself. On Earth, you couldn't give anything of yourself. You couldn't even put your arms around me.

to Ayelbourne

Ayelbourne :

TOS : Errand of Mercy
Ayelbourne : 
"It is true that in the future, you and the Klingons will become fast friends. You will work together."

to Kirk; when asked for an analysis of the witches
TOS : Catspaw
DeSalle : 
"All right, but it's there and it's real. If it's real, it can be affected. Engineering, stand by to divert all power systems to the outer hull. Prepare impulse engines for generation of maximum heat directed as ordered. Maybe we can't break it, but I'll bet you credits to navy beans we can put a dent in it!"

to Kirk
TOS : Catspaw
Korob : 
"You are the different one, Mister Spock. You do not think like the others. There are no colours to your patterns of logic. There's only black and white. You see all this around you, yet you do not believe."
to Spock
TOS : Catspaw
Korob : 
"Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires. All the crystalline forms that you cherish above all things! A fortune of them for each of you if you leave here without further inquiry."
Kirk : 
"We could manufacture a ton of these on our ship. They mean nothing to us."
TOS : Catspaw
Sylvia : 
"I would advise you to co-operate, Captain. Forcible extraction of the information we wish from you is not complicated, but it is extremely painful and it has a certain draining effect."

to Kirk
TOS : Catspaw
Kirk :

Kirk : 
"Our species can only survive if we have obstacles to overcome."

to Kirk and McCoy

Kirk : 
"Human flesh against human flesh. We're the same! We share the same history, the same heritage, the same lives. We're tied together beyond any untie. Man or woman, it makes no difference, we're Human! We couldn't escape each other, even if we wanted to. That's how you do it, Lieutenant. By remembering who and what you are, a bit of flesh and blood afloat in a universe without end. The only thing that's truly yours is the rest of humanity. That's where our duty lies."
to Palamas

Spock : 
"Miss Chapel."
Chapel : 
"Yes, Mister Spock?"
Spock :

talk about subtext...
TOS : Amok Time
Spock : 
"Would you beam down to the planet's surface and stand with me? There is a brief ceremony."
Kirk :

Spock : 
"He does not know! I will do... what I must... T'Pau, but not with him! His blood does not burn. He is my friend!"
T'Pau : 
"It is said thy Vulcan blood is thin. Are thee Vulcan, or are thee human?"

Kirk : 
"That's T'Pau, of Vulcan. All of Vulcan in one package. How can I back out in front of her?"
to McCoy
TOS : Amok Time
Spock : 
"I see no logic in preferring Stonn over me."
T'Pring : 
"You have become much known among our people, Spock. Almost a legend. And as the years went by, I came to know that I did not want to be the consort of a legend. But by the laws of our people, I could only divorce you by the Kal-if-fee. There was also Stonn who wanted very much to be my consort. And I wanted him. If your Captain were victor, he would not want me, so I would have Stonn. If you were victor, you would free me because I had dared to challenge, and again I would have Stonn. But if you did not free me, it would be the same. For you would be gone. And I would have your name and your property, and Stonn would still be there."
Spock : 
"Logical. Flawlessly logical."
T'Pring : 
"I am honoured."
TOS : Amok Time
Spock : 
"Stonn; she is yours. 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."

Kirk : 
"Indeed it shall, Mr. Spock."
TOS : The Doomsday Machine
Kirk : 
"Ironic, isn't it? Way back in the 20th century, the H-Bomb was the ultimate weapon, their doomsday machine. We used something like it to destroy another doomsday machine. Probably the first time such a weapon has ever been used for constructive purposes."
to Spock

Sybo : 
"Yes, there is something here. Something terrible... I feel its presence. Fear, anger, hatred! Anger feeds the flame. Oh! Oh! There is evil here. Monstrous, terrible evil! Consuming hunger! Hatred of all that lives... hatred of women. A hunger that never dies. It is strong, overpowering. An ancient terror. It has a name... Beratis, Kesla, Redjac! Devouring all life, all light. A hunger that will never die! Redjac! Redjac!"

"There's something wrong about a man who never smiles, whose conversation never varies from the routine of the job, and who won't talk about his background."
Spock : 
"I see."
McCoy : 
"Spock, I mean that it's odd for a non-Vulcan. The ears make all the difference."
Spock : 
"I find your argument strewn with gaping defects in logic."
McCoy : 
"Maybe, but you can't evaluate a man by logic alone. Besides, he has avoided two appointments that I've made for his physical exam without reason."
Spock : 
"That's not at all surprising, Doctor. He's probably terrified of your beads and rattles."

"Oh, I just remembered! There is one Earthman who doesn't remind me of a Regulan bloodworm. That's Kirk. A Regulan bloodworm is soft and shapeless. But Kirk isn't soft. Kirk may be a swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood! But he's not soft."
to Scotty

Korax : 
"Of course, I'd say that Captain Kirk deserves his ship. We like the Enterprise! We really do! That sagging old rust bucket is designed like a garbage scow. Half the quadrant knows it. That's why they're learning to speak Klingonese!"

Kirk : 
"Bones, do you remember the 20th century brush wars on the Asian continent? Two giant powers involved, much like the Klingons and ourselves. Neither side could pull out."
McCoy : 
"Yes. It went on bloody year after bloody year!"
Kirk : 
"What would you have suggested, that one side arm its friends with an overpowering weapon? Mankind would never have lived to travel space if they had! No. The only solution is what happened back then. Balance of power."
McCoy : 
"And if the Klingons give their side even more?"
Kirk : 
"Then we arm our side with exactly that much more. A balance of power, the trickiest, most difficult, dirtiest game of them all. But the only one that preserves both sides."

Or that we hadn't gone on to Mars and then to the nearest star? That's like saying you wish that 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.

"You are a superior being. Why do you not command?"
Spock : 
"I do not desire a ship of my own."
Romulan commander : 
"Or is it that no one has offered you, a Vulcan, that opportunity?"
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Romulan commander : 
"You must have your own ship."
Spock : 
"Commander, shall we speak plainly? It is you who desperately need a ship. You want the Enterprise."
Romulan commander : 
"Of course. It would be a great achievement for me to bring home the Enterprise intact. It would broaden the scope of my powers greatly. It would be the achievement of a lifetime. And it would open equal opportunities for you."
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Kirk : 
"Are those Romulan officers still aboard the ship?"

"They're in the brig, sir."

Smiling broadly... "Aye. It'll be a pleasure!"
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Romulan commander : 
"You have nothing in Starfleet to which to return. I offer, we offer you an alternative. We will find a place for you, if you wish it."
Spock : 
"A place?"
Romulan commander : 
"With me. Romulan women are not like Vulcan females. We are not dedicated to pure logic and the sterility of non-emotion. Our people are warriors. Often savage. But we are also many other pleasant things."
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Romulan commander : 
"Now one final step to make the occasion complete. You will lead a small party of Romulans aboard the Enterprise, and there you will take your rightful place as its commander. And you will lead the ship to a Romulan port, with my flagship at its side."
Spock : 
"Yes, of course. But not just this moment. An hour from now will do even better... would it not, Commander?"
Romulan commander : 
"Yes. Yes, it will."
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Tal : 
"We have you under our weapons, Enterprise. You cannot escape."

"Commander?"
Romulan commander : 
"Destroy this vessel! I gave you a direct command! Tal!"
TOS : The Enterprise Incident
Spock : 
"Deck two. It is regrettable that you were made an unwilling passenger. It was not intentional. All the Federation wanted was the cloaking device."
Romulan commander : 
"The Federation. And what did you want?"
Spock : 
"It was my only interest when I boarded your vessel."
Romulan commander : 
"And that's exactly all you came away with."
Spock : 
"You underestimate yourself, Commander."

"You think that's what I want? Become one of them? Become my own enemy? Just lie around like a big blob of nothing and have things done for me? No, sir... if I want to do something, I'll do it for myself! If I want to laugh or cry, I'll do it for myself! You can keep your precious power! All I ask is one thing... if you do make it out of here, take me with you!"
to McCoy

Alexander : 
"I could have had your power, but I didn't want it. I could have had your position, your place, right now! But the sight of you and your academicia sickens me. Despite your brains, you're the most comtemptable beings who ever lived in this universe!"

I am neither competent nor qualified to answer those. I've got to make a ruling, to try to speak the the future. Is Data a machine? Yes. Is he the property of Starfleet? No. We have all been dancing around the basic issue. Does Data have a soul? I don't know that he has. I don't know that I have! But I have got to give him the freedom to explore that question himself. It is the ruling of this court that Lieutenant Commander Data has the freedom to choose."

"Survival is not enough... to simply EXIST is not enough..."
to Danarto Nayrok

Q : 
"I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent."
to Data
TNG : Deja Q
Q : 
"As I learn more and more what it is to be human, I am more and more convinced that I would never make a good one. I don't have what it takes. Without my powers I'm frightened of everything. I'm a coward... and I'm miserable... and I can't go on this way."
to Picard
TNG : Deja Q
Q : 
"There are creatures in the universe who would consider you the ultimate achievement, android. No feelings, no emotions, no pain, and yet you covet those qualities of Humanity. Believe me, you're missing nothing. But if it means anything to you, you're a better Human than I."

Q : 
"Oh, you're so stolid! You weren't like that before the beard!"

to Guinan; about prune juice
TNG : Yesterday's Enterprise
Yar : 
"Guinan says I died a senseless death in the other time line. I didn't like the sound of that, Captain. I've always known the risks that come with a Starfleet uniform. If I'm to die in one, I'd like my death to count for something."

TNG : The Offspring
Haftel : 
"There was nothing anyone could have done. We'd repolarize one pathway and another would collapse. And then another. His hands were moving faster than I could see, trying to stay ahead of each breakdown. He refused to give up. He was remarkable."
to Crew
TNG : The Offspring
Picard : 
"There are times, sir, when men of good conscience cannot blindly follow orders. You acknowledge their sentience, but ignore their personal liberties and freedom? Order a man to turn his child over to the state? Not while I am his captain."
to Haftel
TNG : The Offspring
Picard : 
"I fail to understand how a five-foot android with heuristic learning systems and the strength of ten men could be called a child."

Riker : 
"I imagine it must be very difficult for you to work with a crew that is so different. I would be happy to guide you in that regard, if it would be helpful."
Kurn : 
"No Commander. It wouldn't."
Riker : 
"This is not a Klingon ship, sir."
Kurn : 
"No Commander, it is not. If it were a Klingon ship, I would've killed you for offering your suggestion."
TNG : Sins of the Father
Kurn : 
"How long has the bird been dead? It appears to have been lying in the sun for quite some time."
Geordi : 
"It's not dead, it's been replicated. You do understand that we cook most of our foods?"
Kurn : 
"Ah, yes... I was told to prepare for that. I shall try some of your burned replicated bird meat."
TNG : Sins of the Father
Kurn : 
"This entire ship seems built on comfort, relaxation, being at ease. It is not the ship of a warrior... not the ship of a Klingon."
to Worf; a calculated insult.

"I wish to know if I have given you offence."

"This is not your world, human. You do not command here."

to Picard
TNG : Sins of the Father
K'mpec : 
"This is not the Federation, Picard. If you defy an order of the High Council, the alliance with the Federation could fall to dust."

TNG : Captain's Holiday
Riker : 
" Have I mentioned how imaginative the Risian women are, sir?"
Troi : 
"Too often, Commander."
TNG : Captain's Holiday
Joval : 
"The Horga'hn is the Risian symbol of sexuality. To own one is to call forth it powers. To display it is to announce you are seeking Jamaharon."
Picard : 
"Riker..."
Joval : 
"Do you seek Jamaharohn?"
Picard : 
"I don't even know what it means. The Horga'hn is for a friend."
Joval : 
"I see. Someone close to you?"
Picard : 
"That's right."
Joval : 
"Someone you love?"
Picard : 
"I wouldn't go that far."

to Picard; discussing Tam Elbrun

Data : 
"Since there is no known natural phenomenon capable of travel at warp velocities, there are but two possibilities. Either it is a sensor malfunction, another ship is following us covertly."

Troi : 
"I believe your impression of Data is probably unique."

to Deanna
TNG : Tin Man
Elbrun : 
"Captain, Gomtuu knows that the star will go nova soon. That's why it's here... it wants to die. There was an explosion in space. Radiation penetrating the outer layers. The crew. Oh, the crew died. Such loss. Empty pain... hollowness..."
to Picard
TNG : Tin Man
Picard : 
"Tam, when you reached out to the alien, to warn it, did you give any thought to this vessel? To the danger, however inadvertent, that creature might pose to our crew? Or did you simply react out of instinct?"

"Maybe I'm not make myself clear, Guinan. Barclay, well, he's always late. The man's nervous. Nobody wants to be around this guy."
Guinan : 
"If I felt that nobody wanted to be around me, I'd probably be late and nervous too."
Geordi : 
"Guinan, that's not the point!"
Guinan : 
"Are you sure?"
TNG : Hollow Pursuits
Barclay : 
"Being afraid all the time, of forgetting somebody's name, not knowing what to do with your hands. I mean, I'm the guy who writes down things to remember to say when there's a party. And then when he finally get there, he winds up alone in the corner trying to look comfortable examining a potted plant."

to Varria; describing Data

Fajo : 
"Certainly. You have been brought here for my enjoyment and my appreciation."

"Clearly, Mister Fajo has no moral difficulty with my imprisonment here."
 Varria "Mister Fajo has no moral difficulties at all."
TNG : The Most Toys
Varria : 
"Kivas finds a way to get what he wants from his people. His rewards for loyalty are lavish. His punishments for disloyalty are equally lavish. You won't find anyone here on this ship to help you escape. Face it, android. He has you."
to Data

"I have been designed with a fundamental respect for life in all its forms and a strong inhibition against causing harm to living beings."
Fajo : 
"What a marvellous contradiction. A military pacifist!"
TNG : The Most Toys
Fajo : 
"It's not just lethal. It's vicious. It tears a body apart, inside out - and very slowly too, by your phaser standards. It's tortuous. A very, very painful death. I've always wanted to try this!"
to Data
TNG : The Most Toys
Data : 
"I cannot permit this to continue..."
to Fajo
TNG : The Most Toys
Riker : 
"For an android with no feelings, he sure managed to evoke them in others."
to Picard; on Data
TNG : The Most Toys
Fajo : 
"You'll fire? Empty threat and we both know it. Why don't you accept your fate? You will return to your chair and you will sit there. You will entertain me and you will entertain my guests. And if you do not, I will simply kill somebody else. Him, perhaps. It doesn't matter. Their blood will be on your hands too, just like poor Varria's. Your only alternative, Data, is to fire. Murder me. That's all you have to do. Go ahead. Fire. If only you could feel rage over Varria's death. If only you could feel the need for revenge, then maybe you could fire. But you're just an android. You can't feel anything, can you? It's just another interesting intellectual puzzle for you. Another of life's curiosities."

to Crusher; displaying Sarek's emotions
TNG : Sarek

Worf : 
"...I see what you mean!"
TNG : Sarek
Sarek : 
"It is a generous offer. But I must warn you that while I would gain your stability, you would experience the fierce onslaught of emotions unleashed by my condition. Vulcan emotions are extremely intense. We have learned to suppress them. No human would be able to control them. They would overwhelm you. The mind-meld can be a terrible intimacy."

to Lwaxana
TNG : Menage a Troi
Picard : 
"The Academy must make you wait, that's true. But, when I review your service to this ship, your crewmates, I cannot in all conscience make you wait for the Academy. You see, Wesley, in my eyes you're an acting ensign in title only. I hereby grant you field promotion to full Ensign, with all the commensurate responsibilities and privileges of that rank. Congratulations."

Lwaxana : 
"Let's get one thing straight, little man. I am not for sale. And if, by some chance, I were to become available, I would rather eat Orion wing slugs than deal with a toad-faced troll like you! So go away and find yourself somebody else to become your property!"
to Tog

"Really, Commander, if we ran into the Borg here, two extra bodies wouldn't've made a hell of a difference, now would they? We had three hours before the storm front hit, less than two hours now. Data was available. I took him. We came. I don't see your problem."

"At nineteen hundred hours yesterday, the USS Lalo departed Zeta Alpha Two on a freight run to Sentinel Minor Four.

"With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied... chains us all irrevocably."
quoting Admiral Aaron Satie
TNG : The Drumhead
Picard : 
"We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. And then, before you can blink an eye, suddenly it threatens to start all over again."
to Worf
TNG : The Drumhead
Picard : 
"Mr. Worf, villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged."

"What does that little one do, Mister Woof?"
Worf : 
"Please, Madam! That is a torpedo launch initiator... and it is Worf, Madam, not Woof."

Troi : 
"I know you, Mother, and believe me... you will never be one of those who dies before they die."

Geordi :

TNG : The Mind's Eye
Taibak : 
"Who is that man sitting over there?"
Geordi : 
"That's Chief O'Brien."
Taibak :

Picard : 
"...I would be delighted to offer any advice I can on understanding women. When I have some, I'll let you know."

TNG : In Theory
Picard : 
"Your discommendation is a facade to protect less honourable men. It is a lie. Lies must be challenged."
to Worf
TNG : Redemption, Part 1
Worf : 
"I have been told that patience is sometimes a more effective weapon than the sword."
to Picard
TNG : Redemption, Part 1
Duras : 
"The grasp of Duras reaches out from the grave. Much of the Council is still loyal to his family. I must have the Council's support to survive. I cannot expose their treachery. You chose to accept this disgrace for the good of the Empire. Now you must live with your decision... like a Klingon."
to Worf
TNG : Redemption, Part 1
Picard : 
"K'Tal, this Council knows the law of heredity well. G'now juk Hol pajhard. A son shall share in the honours or crimes of his father. Toral is Duras' son. That has been established by the genetic scan. But with due respect to the traditions and laws of this High Council, there is no basis for accepting a petition for leadership from a boy who has fought no battles, shed no blood for his people, or earned no honour for himself. One day, perhaps he shall. But not now. Duras is dead. His claim to the leadership died with him. Gowron shall lead the Council."
to The Council
TNG : Redemption, Part 1
Gowron : 
"You come to me and demand the restoration of your family honour and now you hide behind human excuses? What are you, Worf? Do you tremble and quake with fear at the approach of combat, hoping to talk your way out of a fight like a human? Or do you hear the cry of the warrior calling you to battle, calling you to glory like a Klingon?"
to Worf
TNG : Redemption, Part 1
Gowron : 
"You both fought as warriors. You have proved your hearts are Klingon. I return your family honour. I give you back that which was wrongfully taken from you. Let your name be spoken once again. You are Worf, son of Mogh."
to Worf
TNG : Redemption, Part 1
Picard : 
"Mister Worf, your responsibilities as a Starfleet officer are incompatible with remaining on board a Klingon ship during a time of war."
Worf : 
"Captain."
Picard : 
"I order you to return to duty at once."
Worf : 
"Then I resign my commission as a Starfleet officer."
TNG : Redemption, Part 1
Picard : 
"The claim 'I was only following orders' has been used to justify too many tragedies in our history."
to Data
TNG : Redemption, Part 2
Picard : 
"The Tamarian was willing to risk all of us, just for the hope of communication, connection. Now the door is open between our peoples. That commitment meant more to him than his own life."

Ro : 
"That's one reason why I ran away. They're lost, defeated. I will never be."

Picard : 
"Doctor, the sperm whale on Earth devours millions of cuttlefish as it roams the oceans. It is not evil, it is feeding. The same may be true of the entity."

TNG : The Game
Picard : 
"Father and son, both proud, both stubborn, more alike than either of them are prepared to admit. A lifetime spent building emotional barriers, they're very difficult to break down. And now the time has come when it is too late. It's a difficult moment. It's a lonely one."
to Data
TNG : Unification, Part 1
Dokachin : 
"He probably figures that we don't get to see a lot of handsome women out this way, and someone like you might get a little more cooperation from me. He's probably right."
to Troi
TNG : Unification, Part 1
Spock : 
"In your own way you are as stubborn as another captain of the Enterprise I once knew."
Picard : 
"Then I am in good company, sir."
TNG : Unification, Part 2
Picard : 
"Of course you know the Prime Directive, which tells us that we have no right to interfere in the natural evolution of alien worlds. Now, I have sworn to uphold it, but nevertheless I have disregarded that directive on more than one occasion... because I thought it was the right thing to do."
to Rasmussen

Helena : 
"You must do what you think is best for him. That's all a parent can hope to do."

TNG : New Ground
Data : 
"I would gladly risk feeling bad at times, if it also meant I could taste my dessert."
to Timothy; Nice foreshadowing of Generations here.
TNG : Hero Worship
Picard : 
"Earth was once a violent planet too. At times, the chaos threatened the very fabric of life. But like you, we evolved. We found better ways to handle our conflicts. But I think noone can deny that the seed of violence remains within each of us, We must recognise that, because that violence is capable of consuming each of us."

Geordi : 
"Who gave them the right to decide whether or not I should be here? Whether or not I might have something to contribute?"
to Hannah; regarding the settlement's decision to remove all disabilities from their offspring
TNG : The Masterpiece Society
Picard : 
"I feel as though I've been handed a weapon, sent into a room, and told to shoot a stranger. Well, I need some moral context to justify that action. And I don't have it. I am not content simply to obey orders. I need to know that what I am doing is right."
to MacDuff
TNG : Conundrum
Worf : 
"To die defending his ship is the hope of every Klingon."
to the alien in Data
TNG : Power Play
Crusher : 
"You scare me, doctor. You risk your patient's lives and justify it in the name of research. Genuine research takes time, sometimes a lifetime of painstaking, detailed work in order to get any results. Not for you, you take shortcuts, right through living tissue. You put your research ahead of your patient's lives and as far as I am concerned, that's a violation of our most sacred trust. I'm sure your work will be hailed as a stunning breakthrough. Enjoy your laurels, doctor. I'm not sure I could."

Picard : 
"Ambassador, have a safe trip home."
TNG : The Perfect Mate
Data : 
"It is interesting that people try to find meaningful patterns in things that are essentially random. I have noticed that the images they percieve sometimes suggest what they are thinking about at that particular moment. Besides, it is clearly a bunny rabbit."
to Guinan; on the nebula cloud formations
TNG : Imaginary Friend
Crusher : 
"When I look at my patient, I don't see a collective consciousness. I don't see a hive. I see a living, breathing boy who's been hurt and who needs our help. And we're talking about sending him back to his people as an instrument of destruction."
to Picard
TNG : I, Borg
Picard : 
"Because it's been given a name by a member of my crew, doesn't mean it's not a Borg. Because it's young, doesn't mean that it's innocent. It is what it is, and in spite of efforts to turn it into some kind of pet I will not alter my plans!"
to Guinan; on Hugh
TNG : I, Borg
Geordi : 
"He's not what I expected, Captain. He's got feelings. He's homesick. I don't know. It just doesn't seem right using him this way."
Picard : 
"Centuries ago, when laboratory animals were used for experiments, scientists would sometimes become attached to the creatures. This would a problem if the experiment involved killing them. I would suggest that you unattach yourself from the Borg, Mister La Forge."

"If you remember what we were and how we lived, then we will have found life again."
to Picard
TNG : The Inner Light
Data : 
"I have often wondered about my own mortality as I have seen others age around me. Until now it has been theoretically possible that I would live an unlimited period of time. And although some might find this attractive, to me it only reinforces that fact that I am... artificial."

Barclay : 
"Chief."
O'Brien : 
"Lieutenant. Glad you could make it. You know, I think this is the first time we've ever spoken outside of the transporter room."
Barclay : 
"Well, to be honest, I've always avoided you."
O'Brien : 
"Why?"
Barclay : 
"Because you run the transporters, and I hate the transporters. At least, I used to."

Data : 
"Felis Catus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature,
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses,
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications,
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection,
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents,
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance,
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display,
Connote a fairly well developed cognitive array,
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I none-the-less consider you a true and valued friend."
TNG : Schisms
Picard : 
"You may be nearly omnipotent, and I don't deny that your parlour tricks are very impressive, but morality? I don't see it. I would put Human morality against the Q's any day. And perhaps that's the reason why we fascinate you so..."

Governor Torak : 
"He was doing his job."
Picard : 
"If he was only doing his job, then I'm sure you won't mind if we spoke with him."

"I've lost people under my command, people who were very dear to me, but never someone I've been in love with. And when I believed you were dead, I just began to shut down.

"Long ago a storm was heading toward the city of Quin'lat. The people sought protection within the walls, all except one man who remained outside. I went to him and asked what he was doing. 'I am not afraid,' he said. 'I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar. I will stand before the wind and make it respect me.' I honoured his choice and went inside. The next day the storm came, and the man was killed. The wind does not respect a fool."

Pressman : 
"And that treaty is the biggest mistake we ever made! Its kept us from exploiting a vital area of defense!"
Picard : 
"That treaty has kept us in peace for sixty years! And as a Starfleet officer, you're supposed to uphold it."

Riker : 
"That's right…"
Troi : 
"I knew that was part of being in command, and I thought I'd prepared for it – but when the moment came, I hesitated…Maybe you were right, maybe I'm not cut out for this…"

"I am Quark, son of Keldar, and I have come to answer the challenge of D'Ghor, son of... whatever."
to Gowron
DS9 : The House of Quark
Quark : 
"Go ahead, kill me! That's why I'm here, isn't it, to be killed? Well, here I am, so go ahead and do it. You all want me to pick up that sword and try to fight him, don't you? But I don't have a chance and you know it! You only want me to put up a fight so your precious honour will be satisfied. Well, I'm not going to make it so easy for you. Having me fight D'Ghor is nothing more than an execution, so, if that's what you want, that's what you'll get. An execution. No honour, no glory. And when you tell your children and your grandchildren the glorious story of how you rose to power and took Grilka's House from her, I hope you remember to tell them how you heroically killed an unarmed Ferengi half your size."

Dukat : 
"Where's Commander Sisko? I trust he wasn't vaporized, while asking for one of those raktajinos he's so fond of?"

"Just you."

"You're trying to be a hero. Terrorists don't get to be heros."
to Thomas Riker
DS9 : Defiant
Dukat : 
"When my son looks back on this day, the only thing he'll remember is that a Federation officer on a Federation ship invaded his home and kept his father away from him on his eleventh birthday. And he won't look back with understanding... he'll look back with hatred. And that's sad."
to Sisko
DS9 : Defiant
Thomas Riker :

DS9 : Heart of Stone
Nog : 
"According to Ferengi by-laws, section one oh five, subparagraph ten, upon reaching adulthood, Ferengi males must purchase an apprenticeship from a suitable role model. I choose you."
Sisko : 
"You want to be my apprentice?"
Nog : 
"That's right. I want to be the first Ferengi in Starfleet. Now, who do I see about getting a uniform?"
DS9 : Heart of Stone
Nog : 
My father is a mechanical genius! He could've been the chief engineer of a starship if he'd had the opportunity. But he went into business like a good Ferengi. The only thing is, he's not a good Ferengi. Not when it comes to acquiring profit. So now all he has to live for is the slim chance that someday, somehow, he might be able to take over my uncle's bar. Well I'm not going to make the same mistake. I want to do something with my life. Something worthwhile.
to Sisko
DS9 : Heart of Stone
Odo : 
Remember Major, I pride myself on my ability to observe human nature, and I've watched you for the past three years. In all that time I never saw any indication that you had those kinds of feelings for me. You like me. You think of me as a close friend. But love? I'm afraid not.
to Fake Kira
DS9 : Heart of Stone
Female Changeling : 
Major Kira is down that tunnel, two hundred metres south of here. Save her, if it suits you, but it won't make any difference. She is never going to love you. How could she? You are a changeling.
to Odo
DS9 : Heart of Stone
Dax : 
"You can make your own decisions, or you can let these prophecies make them for you."
to Sisko
DS9 : Destiny
Sisko : 
"Are you suggesting that I'm dismissing this prophecy too easily because I don't want to be the Emissary?"
Odo : 
"I'm not suggesting anything. But it's been my experience that all humanoids have an agenda of some sort, and that their agendas can influence them without their even realising it."
DS9 : Destiny
Gilora : 
"It's been my experience that..."
O'Brien : 
"What? That humans aren't good engineers?"
Gilora : 
"No, not humans. Males."
O'Brien : 
"I beg your pardon?"
Gilora : 
"Men just don't seem to have a head for this sort of thing. That's why women dominate the sciences."
O'Brien : 
"Maybe on Cardassia. But on this station, this man is Chief of Operations, and I know more about these systems anyone, including you."
DS9 : Destiny
Sisko : 
"Do you really believe that I'm the Emissary?"
Kira : 
"I guess I always have. I never wanted to admit it to myself. It's hard to work for someone who's a religious icon."
DS9 : Destiny
Sisko : 
"It would seem that our scientific methodologies differ slightly. It is our practice to examine all possibilities, no matter how unlikely, before we proceed with field tests."
Ulani : 
"We would, of course, prefer to operate that way as well. However, since the Science Ministry falls under the jurisdiction of the military, we have to follow certain rules. One of them is not to make any project look unnecessarily dangerous."
DS9 : Destiny
Zek : 
"Actually, I've lost my taste for beetle snuff. It might be fun for you and me, but it's no fun for the beetles!"

DS9 : Prophet Motive
Odo : 
"Close your eyes... Take a deep breath... Clear your mind of everything in it... if there's anything there..."
to Rom
DS9 : Prophet Motive
Bashir : 
"Well, you do have one problem... if all you can hallucinate about is Quark's maintenance problems, you do have a sadly deficient fantasy life."
to O'Brien
DS9 : Visionary
O'Brien : 
"Trust me, Quark. Darts and bars go together like bacon and eggs."
Quark : 
"At least people order bacon and eggs. In all the years I've been here, no one has ever come in and asked to see the dart board."
O'Brien : 
"Trust me. They will."
DS9 : Visionary
Sisko : 
"I think we have enough evidence to at least hold the Klingons for questioning, don't you?"
Odd : 
"Absolutely. And I think I can question them until the Romulan delegation leaves the station."
Sisko : 
"Just be careful."
Odd : 
"Commander, there is no careful way to question a Klingon."
DS9 : Visionary
Ruwon : 
"I think you're lying, Quark."
Quark : 
"About which part?"
Ruwon : 
"All of it."
Quark : 
"Well, at least I am consistent."
DS9 : Visionary
Bashir : 
"Who told you that?"
O'Brien : 
"You did. In the future."
Bashir : 
"Oh. Well, who am I to argue with me?"

Kira : 
"Oh, you sound just like a Cardassian."
O'Brien : 
"I beg your pardon?"
Kira : 
"They have denied the possibility of ancient contact for decades because they cannot stand the idea of Bajor having interstellar flight before they did."
O'Brien : 
"With all due respect, Major, you're beginning to sound like a Romulan."
Kira : 
"A Romulan?"
O'Brien : 
"There is no piece of technology in existence they don't claim they invented before everyone else."
DS9 : Explorers
Ben : 
"Listen."
Jake : 
"I don't hear anything."
Ben : 
"Exactly. Not even the hum of an engine. It's almost like being on the deck of an old sailing ship. Except the stars are not just up in the sky; they're all around us."
DS9 : Explorers
Jake : 
"Well, let's face it. It's been over a year since your last date. A year, Dad. Well, you got to make time for these things."
Ben : 
"I cannot believe that I'm getting advice about women from my son."
Jake : 
"Don't think of me as your son, right now. Just think of me as another guy. Another guy who happens to know a very attractive lady who wants to meet you."

Ben Sisko : 
"I'm no writer, but if I were it seems to me I'd want to poke my head up every once in a while and take a look around, see what's going on. It's life, Jake! You can miss it if you don't open your eyes."
to Jake Sisko
DS9 : The Visitor
Goran'Agar : 
"I have fought against races that believe in mythical beings who guide their destinies and await them after death. They call them gods. The Founders are like Gods to the Jem'Hadar, but our Gods never talk to us, and they don't wait for us after death. They only want us to fight for them, and die for them."

to Ziyal
DS9 : Return to Grace
Dukat : 
"Lately, when my mind wanders, I find myself thinking more and more about Gul Marratt. Do you know him? Very dashing. One of Cardassia's rising stars. Graduate of the Cardassian Military Academy, smooth-talking junior member of the Detepa Council, and like your friend Shakaar, quite a lady's man. Especially with other officer's wives."
Kira : 
"Including yours?"
Dukat : 
"Mmm. A year ago he wouldn't have dared, but now? I think the first thing I do when I'm returned to power is to demote him. Assign him to the Cardassian Embassy on Breen. I hear it's bitter cold on Breen. And we Cardassians do despise the cold..."
DS9 : Return to Grace
Dukat : 
"There was a time when the mere mention of my race inspired fear. And now... we're a beaten people. Afraid to fight back because we're afraid to lose what little is left."

DS9 : Hard Time
O'Brien : 
"When we were growing up, they used to tell us... Humanity had evolved, that mankind had outgrown hate and rage. But when it came down to it, when I had the chance to show, that no matter what anybody did to me, that I was still an evolved Human being... I failed. I repaid kindness with blood. I was no better than an animal."
Bashir : 
"No. No, no, no. An animal would've killed Ee'Char and never had a second thought, never shed a tear... But not you. You hate yourself. You hate yourself so much you think you deserve to die. The Argrathi did everything they could to strip you of your Humanity and in the end, for one brief moment they succeeded. But you can't let that brief moment define your entire life. If you do, if you pull that trigger… then the Argrathi will have won. They will have destroyed a good man. You cannot let that happen, my friend."

Join our fathers in the black fleet,
Where we battle, forever battling, on
Through the eternal fight."

"We humanoids are the product of millions of years of evolution. Our ancestors learned the hard way that what you don't know might kill you. They wouldn't have survived if they hadn't jumped back when they encountered a snake coiled in the muck. And now millions of years later, that instinct is still there."

Ezri : 
"Worf, we're not gods or Prophets. We're people. We make mistakes. There is one other thing I want you to know. I honestly didn't realize how I felt about Julian. I would have never hidden something like that from you."

Damar : 
"...And so two years ago, our government signed a treaty with the Dominion. In it the Dominion promised to extend Cardassia's influence throughout the Alpha Quadrant. In exchange, we pledged ourselves to join the war against the Federation and its allies. Cardassians have never been afraid of war, a fact we've proven time and again over these past two years. Seven million of our brave soldiers have given their lives to fulfill our part of the agreement, and what has the Dominion done in return? Nothing. We've gained no new territories. In fact, our influence throughout the quadrant has diminished. And to make matters worse, we are no longer masters in our own home. Travel anywhere on Cardassia and what do you find? Jem'Hadar, Vorta, and now Breen. Instead of the invaders, we have become the invaded. Our 'allies' have conquered us without firing a single shot. Well, no longer. This morning detachments of the Cardassian First, Third and Ninth Orders attacked the Dominion outpost on Rondac III. This assault marks the first step towards the liberation of our homeland, from the true oppressors of the Alpha Quadrant. I call upon Cardassians everywhere. Resist. Resist today. Resist tomorrow. Resist till the last Dominion soldier has been driven from our soil!"

"So that when he linked with another Changeling, he'd pass it on, and eventually the entire race would be infected."
Bashir : 
"31 isn't just trying to stop us from finding a cure. They're trying to cover up the fact that they set out to commit genocide."
O'Brien :

VOY : Investigations
Paris : 
"I know that I've been acting like a jerk for the last couple of months. Unfortunately, I had to behave that way if the spy was going to believe that I really wanted to leave the ship. So, I'd like to apologize to anyone that I might have offended... especially Commander Chakotay, I gave him a pretty hard time. Not that it wasn't a certain amount of fun, mind you."

VOY : Tuvix
Chakotay : 
"I can tell you a story, an ancient legend among my people. It's about an angry warrior who lived his life in conflict with the rest of his tribe. A man who couldn't find peace, even with the help of his spirit guide. For years he struggled with his discontent. The only satisfaction he ever got came when he was in battle. That made him a hero among his tribe, but the warrior still longed for peace within himself. One day, he and his war party were captured by a neighbouring tribe led by a woman warrior. She called on him to join her tribe because her tribe was too small and weak to defend itself from all its enemies. The woman warrior was brave and beautiful and very wise. The angry warrior swore to himself that he would stay by her side, doing whatever he could to make her burden lighter. From that point on, her needs would come first. And in that way, the warrior began to know the true meaning of peace."
Janeway : 
"Is that really an ancient legend?"
Chakotay : 
"No. But that made it easier to say."

"It's my fault. If I hadn't told Hogan to pick up those bones."
Kes : 
"You shouldn't blame yourself."
Janeway : 
"Stop it. There is no time to worry about blame. Hogan was a fine officer and a good man. And our job is to make sure that his death is the last one for a very long time. I will not let this planet destroy my crew."

"You would have been proud of him, Mr. Tuvok."
Tuvok : 
"I offer you a Vulcan prayer, Mr. Suder. May your death bring you the peace you never found in life."
VOY : Basics, Part 2
Janeway : 
"Space must have seemed a whole lot bigger back then. It's not surprising they had to bend the rules a little. They were a little slower to invoke the Prime Directive, and a little quicker to pull their phasers. Of course, the whole bunch of them would be booted out of Starfleet today. But I have to admit, I would have loved to ride shotgun at least once with a group of officers like that."
to Tuvok; re the original series officers
VOY : Flashback
Sulu : 
"You'll find that more happens on the bridge of a starship than just carrying out orders and observing regulations. There is a sense of loyalty to the men and women you serve with, a sense of family. Those two men on trial... I served with them for a long time. I owe them my life a dozen times over. And right now they're in trouble, and I'm going to help them. Let the regulations be damned."
to Tuvok
VOY : Flashback
Sulu :

VOY : False Profits
Arridor : 
"I told you there was no rule."
Koll : 
"Then it's time to invoke the unwritten rule."
Arridor : 
"The unwritten rule?"

EMH : 
"I fail to see why not."
Paris : 
"Think about what's happened to us here aboard Voyager. Everyone left people behind, and everyone suffered a loss. But look how it's brought us all closer together. We found support here, and friendship, and we've become a family, in part because of the pain we share. If you turn your back on this program, you'll always be stuck at this point. You'll never have the chance to say goodbye to your daughter. Or to be there for your wife and son when they need you. And you'll be cheating yourself out of their love and support. In the long run, you'll miss the whole point of what it means to have a family."

Seven : 
What further answer do you require?"

"You made me into an individual. You encouraged me to stop thinking like a member of the collective... to cultivate my independence... my Humanity. But when I try to assert that independence, I am punished."
Janeway : 
"Individuality has its limits. Especially on a starship, where there's a command structure."
Seven :

VOY : Hope and Fear
Arturis : 
"My people managed to elude the Borg for centuries! Outwitting them, always one step ahead! But in recent years, the Borg began to weaken our defenses. They were closing in, and Species 8472 was our last hope to defeat them. You took that away from us! The outer colonies were the first to fall; 23 in a matter of hours. Our sentry vessels tossed aside, no defense against the storm. And by the time they had surrounded our star system... hundreds of cubes... we had already surrendered to our own terror."

VOY : Hope and Fear

VOY : Hope and Fear
Seven : 
"You were correct, captain. My desire to remain in the Delta Quadrant was based on fear. I am no longer Borg... but the prospect of becoming Human is... unsettling. I don't know where I belong."

"Transporter technology is very new. I'm sure Humans were equally frightened when the automobile was introduced, or the airplane. New forms of transport take a while to get used to. I'm not at all surprised at your reaction – you wouldn't catch me using that apparatus."
to Sato
ENT : Vanishing Point
Kaitaama : 
"My family is known on hundreds of worlds."
Tucker : 
"Well, I'm afraid Earth isn't one of 'em."
ENT : Precious Cargo
Kaitaama : 
"I am first monarch of the sovereign dynasty of Krios Prime."
Tucker : 
"Oh… Charles Tucker III. Pleased to meet you."
ENT : Precious Cargo
Tucker : 
"You know, you were a lot more pleasant in stasis."
to Kaitaama
ENT : Precious Cargo
T'Pol : 
"How much do you weigh?"
Plinn : 
"What?"
T'Pol : 
"Your weight?"
Plinn : 
"72 kilograms."
T'Pol : 
"Height?"
Plinn : 
"1.8 meters. Why are you asking these questions?"
T'Pol : 
"Does your culture observe any postmortem rituals?"
Plinn : 
"This is not fair! I demand to speak with someone from my government!"
 
pretending to be his judge and executioner
ENT : Precious Cargo
Tucker : 
"You'd be dead if it weren't for me!"
Kaitaama : 
"I'm beginning to think that would be preferable!"
Tucker : 
"I doubt the commoners back home would complain!"
ENT : Precious Cargo
Phlox : 
"Sickbay is the most heavily shielded section. It's possible that some of the crew could survive there."
Archer : 
"We can't fit 83 people into sickbay... and I'm not about to draw lots!"
ENT : The Catwalk
Tucker : 
"I understand we're explorers and we're supposed to keep an open mind about different cultures, but these guys are driving me crazy."
ENT : The Catwalk
Tucker : 
"I'm no good until I've had my coffee."
ENT : Dawn
Tucker : 
"That was quite a trick."
to Zho'Kaan; on healing his wound by spitting on it
ENT : Dawn
Tucker : 
"I wouldn't trade my time on Enterprise. Not for anything. I've seen things I could never imagine back home."
ENT : Dawn
Zho'Kaan : 
"Trip, when I fired at your vessel... I'm grateful I didn't destroy it."
Tucker : 
"That makes two of us!"
ENT : Dawn
Strom : 
"We don't condone the intimate acts that these people engage in. They defy everything our society stands for."
on Vulcans who perform mind melds
ENT : Stigma
Tucker : 
"Maybe I should tell the doc."
Reed : 
"Tell him what? That his wife is trying to seduce you? Not a good idea!"
ENT : Stigma
Feezal : 
"I wasn't exactly pulling your leg, was I, commander?"
to Tucker
ENT : Stigma
Tarah : 
"Have you ever known a Vulcan who wouldn't lie to get what he wanted?"
to Shran
ENT : Cease Fire
Forrest : 
"Jonathan, this is the first time the Vulcans have asked for our help. You're the closest thing we have to an ambassador out there. You know how important this could be."
to Archer; when Soval requests their assistance on Paan Mokar
ENT : Cease Fire
Tucker : 
"I don't like pushing the engines this hard. The injectors are running at 110 percent."
T'Pol : 
"They're rated for 120."
Tucker : 
"And my underwear is flame retardant. That doesn't mean that I'm going to light myself on fire to prove it!"
ENT : Cease Fire
Phlox : 
"Ironic... they weren't overly enthusiastic about you taking command of Enterprise in the first place, and now, your presence is... crucial to their interests."
Archer : 
"It's crucial to ours too... Maybe we're not out here to just scan comets and meet new species, maybe we're out here to prove that Humanity is ready to join a much larger community... I intend to do that... whether the Vulcans like it or not."
ENT : Cease Fire
Archer : 
"I imagined my first diplomatic mission would involve sitting around a big table, toasting with champagne, signing things with lots of pens…"
Shran : 
"The pink skin sense of humor."
ENT : Cease Fire
Soval : 
"What is their fixation with our ears?"
T'Pol : 
"I believe they're envious."
ENT : Cease Fire
Archer : 
"I believe someone once defined a compromise as a solution that neither side is happy with."
Shran : 
"In that case, these talks have been extremely successful."
ENT : Cease Fire
Shran : 
"I think he likes you, pink skin."
Archer : 
"I wouldn't go that far."
ENT : Cease Fire
Archer : 
"If a Human and a Vulcan did have a child... I wonder if he'd have pointed ears?"
to T'Pol; a laugh-out-loud moment for Spock fans
ENT : Future Tense
Kuroda : 
"I may not know how to fly this ship, but I am sure I can figure out how to crash it!"

Reed : 
"Would you mind taking off your clothing? I'd like to learn more about your anatomy."
to T'Pol
ENT : The Crossing
Archer : 
"I hope they're not the jury."
Kolos : 
"There is no jury."
ENT : Judgment
Kolos : 
"Be silent or you will be removed!"
when archer speaks during the trial
ENT : Judgment
Duras : 
"Identify yourself!"
Archer : 
"Captain Archer of the battle cruiser Enterprise."
ENT : Judgment
Archer : 
"What is it?"
Kolos : 
"Blood wine. It should help make the wait more pleasant."
 Archer considers the flask, drinks from it, then tries to control his negative reaction.
Archer : 
"What's it the blood of?"
 Kolos chuckles.
Kolos : 
"Don't feel badly if you can't stomach it."
Archer : 
"I didn't say that!"
ENT : Judgment
Kolos : 
"Perhaps I spent too much time in the law library and not enough in the battlefield."
ENT : Judgment
Kolos : 
"You didn't believe all Klingons were soldiers?"
Archer : 
"I guess I did."
Kolos : 
"My father was a teacher. My mother, a biologist at the university. They encouraged me to take up the law. Now, all young people want to do is to take up weapons as soon as they can hold them. They're told there is honor in victory... any victory. What honor is there in a victory over a weaker opponent? Had Duras destroyed that ship, he would have been lauded as a hero of the Empire for murdering helpless refugees. We were a great society, not so long ago. When honor was earned through integrity and acts of true courage, not senseless bloodshed."
Kolos : 
"For thousands of years, my people had similar problems. We fought three world wars that almost destroyed us. Whole generations were nearly wiped out."
Archer : 
"What changed?"
Kolos : 
"A few courageous people began to realize... they could make a difference."
ENT : Judgment
Mayweather : 
"Starfleet really ought to think about putting families on starships."
Reed : 
"You must be joking!"
Mayweather : 
"No one would ever get homesick."
Reed : 
"Yes... well they'd better post a psychologist on board. Because I'd need one if my parents were roaming the corridors."
ENT : Horizon
Trip : 
"If you don't start moving in the next five seconds, I'm gonna take my phase pistol and shoot you in the ass!"
to the Denobulan
ENT : The Breach
Archer : 
"I might have expected something like this from a first year recruit, but not you. You did exactly what I'd do? If that's true then I've done a pretty lousy job setting an example around here. You're a senior officer on this ship, you're privy to the moral challenges I've had to face. You know I've wrestled with the fine line between doing what I think is right and interfering with other species. So don't tell me you know what I would have done when I don't even know what I would have done!"
to Trip
ENT : Cogenitor
Archer : 
"Sounds to me like we have only postponed the invasion until... what? The 24th century?"
to T'Pol
ENT : Regeneration
T'Pol : 
"I suppose we'll never know... who would have won."
to Archer; on his fight with Robinson. Given his track record with fights, I thought this was a nicely snarky comment for the writers to throw in
ENT : First Flight
Skalaar : 
"You'd be wise to keep quiet. The Klingons pay me the same whether you're alive or dead."
to Archer
ENT : Bounty
T'Pol : 
"If I don't mate with a male, Vulcan or otherwise, I'll die."
ENT : Bounty
T'Pol : 
"Don't be frightened. I won't hurt you."
Phlox : 
"You're disturbing my serum!"
ENT : Bounty
Reed : 
"Photonic torpedoes. Their range is over fifty times greater than our conventional torpedoes. And they have a variable yield. They can knock the comm array off a shuttle pod without scratching the hull, or they can put a three kilometre crater into an asteroid."
to Trip
ENT : The Expanse
T'Pol : 
"Delicate is not a word I associate with Mr. Tucker."
on Trip

Tucker : 
"Where's Isaac Newton when you need him?"
ENT : Anomaly
Tucker : 
"Creating a stable warp field isn't easy when the laws of physics won't cooperate."
ENT : Anomaly
Phlox : 
"Place one on your chest and one on your abdomen an hour before going to bed. Their secretions act as a natural sedative. Please, be careful to sleep on your back. If you roll over, you might anger them."
Tucker : 
"Maybe an hour a night with T'Pol isn't so bad."

to Hoshi
ENT : Exile
Gralik : 
"I'm proud of my craft, captain. I've practiced it for many years. I won't let my work be corrupted in this way. Seven million people... if I'd chosen my clients more carefully that tragedy might not have happened. I don't intend to let it happen again."
to Archer
ENT : The Shipment
Tucker : 
"You'll enjoy it. Rosemary's Baby. It'll scare the hell out of you."
to T'Pol; discussing this weeks movie
ENT : Twilight
Reed : 
"We've taken nine prisoners, but the brig was only designed for two. I'm not sure what to do with the others."
Tucker : 
"Blow 'em out the airlock!"
T'Pol : 
"Put them in crew quarters under heavy guard."
ENT : Twilight
Tucker : 
"For now, the best I can give you is warp 1.7!"
Reed : 
"We're not going to get very far at that speed."
ENT : Twilight
Tucker : 
"This planet is barely Minshara-class. Maybe we should've picked one with a little more blue and green on it."
commenting on how desolate the planet is
ENT : Twilight
Archer : 
"It couldn't have been easy for you, telling me the same story over and over again for twelve years."
T'Pol : 
"I don't always tell it in detail."
Archer : 
"I hope I've told you this before, but… I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me."
 
on her having to look after him

T'Pol : 
"If the Xindi are on the way, there's very little we can do to stop them."

"You know... you'd make a wonderful nurse."

T'Pol : 
"In one individual we've managed to find the worst qualities of this era. Greed, violence, moral corruption."

"Take us out of the system. But not too quickly; the Andorian mining consortium runs from no-one!"
taking his role as a miner just a little too seriously
ENT : Proving Ground
Degra : 
"When it arrived in your star system, I watched the incoming telemetry with the other members of the council. Seven million lives were extinguished in front of my eyes. I asked myself... how many of those were children?"

Archer : 
"Thanks for your help."
to Degra; sarcastically, after fooling him into revealing the location of the Xindi weapon

"You suggest I read the manual!?"
to T'Pol; regarding starting the warp drive up

ENT : Doctor's Orders
Archer : 
"The Xindi are trying to destroy Earth because they heard that Humans are ruthless, this is the chance to prove them wrong."
to Reed
ENT : Hatchery
Archer : 
"I don't know much about Vulcan ethics but Humans don't throw morality out the window when things start getting a little rough."
to T'Pol
ENT : Hatchery
Archer : 
"I'm going to ask all of you to think back to the day when this ship was first launched. We were explorers then. When all this is over, when Earth is safe, I want you to get back to that job. There are four hundred billion stars in our galaxy, we've only explored a tiny fraction. You have a lot to do. Of all the captains who will sit in this chair, I can't imagine any of them being more proud than I am right now."
to crew
ENT : Azati Prime
Trip : 
"You did the right thing."
Archer : 
"Seems the longer we're out here, the more I have to keep saying that to myself."
ENT : Damage

"Before your primate brain is too badly damaged to understand, I want to thank you for helping us destroy your world."
to Hoshi
ENT : Countdown
Archer : 
"Have these Guardians told you where you'll establish your new home world? The one Humans are destined to destroy? Is it here, in the Expanse? In case you haven't noticed, the Spheres are turning it into a trans-dimensional wasteland! None of you will be able to survive. You say the Guardians have helped you? Have they ever tried to disable the Spheres? Because we've found a way. Help me save my people, and I can help you save yours."
to Xindi Council

Major Hayes : 
"We're all part of the same crew, no matter which uniform we wear. Don't worry about Ensign Sato, we'll bring her home."
to Reed
ENT : Countdown
Reed : 
"We've got less than ten hours before this weapon reaches Earth. The captain wants to take a team aboard to destroy it. I don't imagine the Reptilians will make this easy for us, but that's why you're here. That's why Major Hayes picked each one of you for this mission: because he knew you'd get the job done. I need three volunteers."

Trip : 
"This isn't a damn sensor glitch! We just pulled three .50 caliber bullets from the shuttlepod hull - and spare us the official Vulcan position about time travel! We are two hundred years in the past. Face it!"
to T'Pol
ENT : Storm Front, Part 1
Reed : 
"I've been going over those military dispatches that Hoshi picked up. Some of them don't make sense - they mention recent battles in Virginia and Ohio! There weren't any battles fought there in World War II, the Nazis never got to North America. Something's very wrong down there."

"How long can we sustain warp 5?"
Trip : 
"As long as the captain wants it. Or until we blow up, whichever comes first."
ENT : The Augments
Soval : 
"We had our wars Admiral, just as Humans did. Our planet was devastated, our civilisation nearly destroyed. Logic saved us, but it took almost 1,500 years for us to rebuild our world and travel to the stars. You Humans did the same in less than a century. There are those on the high command who wonder what Humans would achieve in the century to come. And they don't like the answer."
to Forrest
ENT : The Forge
T'Pol : 
"Over the centuries his followers made copies of his teachings."

"At least the warp engines still need me!"
on T'Pol dumping him
ENT : Daedalus
Archer : 
"Maybe you've evolved into beings with abilities I can't comprehend. But you've paid a hell of a price. You've lost compassion and empathy, things that give life meaning. If that's what it takes to be advanced, I don't want any part of it."

to the Tholian
ENT : In A Mirror, Darkly
Mirror Phlox : 
"I skimmed a few of the more celebrated narratives. The stories were similar in some respects but their characters were weak and compassionate. With the exception of Shakespeare, of course. From what I could tell his plays were equally grim in both universes."

"With this Coalition of Planets we seek to strengthen our bonds of friendship, render permanent the peace that now exists among us for the ongoing exploration of our galaxy. Let us dedicate ourselves to these worthy goals so that future generations can look back upon this moment with pride and eternal gratitude."
in his opening speech
ENT : Demons
Archer : 
"Up until about a hundred years ago, there was one question that burned in every human, that made us study the stars and dream of travelling 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. A final frontier begins in this hall. Let's explore it together."
to the conference
ENT : Terra Prime
Phlox : 
"When you invited me to join this crew, I thought it would be an interesting diversion for a few months. Some time away from the complications of family, which on Denobula can be extremely complicated. I didn't expect to gain another family. It hurts as if she were my own child. Make something good come from this, Captain."

The last words spoken in the series
ENT : These Are The Voyages...
Picard : 
"Because it was no longer Starfleet! We withdrew. The galaxy was mourning, burying its dead, and Starfleet had slunk from its duties. The decision to call off the rescue and to abandon those people we had sworn to save was not just dishonourable. It was downright criminal!"

Rios : 
"The existential pain of living with the consciousness of death and how it defines us as Human beings."
Agnes : 
"Well that's not a conversation killer at all."

Kestra : 
"Seems weird to make an android with mucus and saliva, but... I guess Data would do it like that."
Soji : 
"I don't see how this Data could be my father. I mean, if I was made, it was probably about three years ago. Wait, why would Data want to make an android with mucus and saliva?"
Kestra : 
"Well, he was always trying to be more human. He could do all these amazing things, but all he ever really wanted to do was, like, have dreams and tell jokes and, like, learn how to ballroom dance."

Picard : 
"In one sense, yes, but in another, as you said, they are children. And until now, the only teachers that they've had are a couple of hermits, and the fear of extermination. But fear is an incompetent teacher. Yes, they have life. But no one is teaching them what it's for. To be alive is a responsibility, as well as a right."

It seems to me our mission to escort the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council to a peace summit is problematic at best. Spock says this could be an historic occasion, and I'd like to believe him.

"A five year mission Spock! That's deep space, that's uncharted territory, think how incredible that's going to be!"
to Spock
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Kirk : 
"Well sir volatile is all relative, maybe our data was off."
Pike : 
"Or maybe it didn't erupt because Mr. Spock detonated a cold fusion device inside it right after a civilisation that's barely invented the wheel happened to see a starship rising out of their ocean!"
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Spock : 
"Had the mission gone to plan, Admiral, the indigenous species would not have been aware of our interference."
Pike : 
"That's a technicality!"
Spock : 
"I am Vulcan sir, we embrace technicality."
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Pike : 
"That's your problem, you think you're infallible. You think you can't make a mistake. It's a pattern with you. The rules are for other people. And what's worse is, you're using blind luck to justify your playing god!"
to Kirk
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Pike : 
"You're going to be my first officer. Admiral Marcus took some convincing. But every now and then I can make a good case."
Kirk : 
"What did you tell him?"
Pike : 
"The truth. That I believe in you. That if anybody deserves a second chance it's Jim Kirk.

"I don't know what to say..."
Pike : 
"That is a first. It's going to be okay, son."

to Kirk
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Sulu : 
"Attention John Harrison. This is Captain Hikaru Sulu of the USS Enterprise. A shuttle of highly trained officers is on its way to your location. If you do not surrender to them immediately, I will unleash the entire payload of advanced long-range torpedoes currently locked on to your location. You have two minutes to confirm your compliance. Refusal to do so will result in your obliteration. And If you test me, you will fail."
to Harrison
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Spock : 
"You misunderstand. It is true I chose not to feel anything on realising that my own life was ending. As Admiral Pike was dying I joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing. Anger... confusion... loneliness... fear. I have experienced those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. Such a feeling is something I choose never to experience again. Nyota, you mistake my choice not to feel as a reflection of my not caring. Well I assure you, the truth is precisely the opposite."
to Uhura
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Kirk : 
"Let me explain what's happening here. You are a criminal. I watched you murder innocent men and women. I was authorised to end you, and the only reason why you are still alive is because I am allowing it. So shut your mouth!"

to Kirk

Khan : 
"My crew is my family, Kirk. Is there anything you would not do for your family?"
to Kirk
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Kirk : 
"You're right! What I'm about to do, it doesn't make any sense. It's not logical, it is a gut feeling. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do... I only know what I can do. The Enterprise and her crew need someone in that chair who knows what he's doing. And it's not me. It's you, Spock."
to Spock
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Old Spock : 
"As you know, I have made a vow never to give you information that could potentially alter your destiny. Your path is yours to walk, yours alone. That being said... Khan Noonien Singh is the most dangerous adversary the Enterprise ever faced. He is brilliant, ruthless, and he will not hesitate to kill every single one of you."
Spock : 
"Did you defeat him?"
Old Spock : 
"At great cost... yes."

McCoy : 
"Once we caught him, I synthesised a serum from his... super blood. Tell me, are you feeling homicidal, power mad, despotic?"
Kirk : 
"No more than usual."
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Kirk : 
"There will always be those who mean to do us harm. To stop them, we risk awakening the same evil within ourselves. Our first instinct is to seek revenge when those we love are taken from us. But that's not who we are. We are here today to re-christen the USS Enterprise and to honour those who lost their lives nearly one year ago. When Christopher Pike first gave me his ship, he had me recite the Captain's Oath. Words I didn't appreciate at the time. Now I see them as a call for us to remember who we once were and who we must be again. And those words? Space... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, her five year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations. To boldly go where no one has gone before."
ST-ID : Star Trek Into Darkness
Kirk : 
"My dad joined Starfleet because he believed in it. I joined on a dare."
McCoy : 
"You joined to see if you could live up to him. You've spent all this time trying to be your dad. Now you're wondering... what it means to be you."

I bring you a message of goodwill and present to you, esteemed members of the Teenaxi delegation, a gift from the Fibonan high council, with the highest regards."
Teenaxi Delegate : "What's wrong with it?"
Kirk : 
"...excuse me?"
Teenaxi Delegate : "Well, why don't they want it anymore?"
Kirk : 
"Um, well, this was once a piece of an ancient weapon. And now they offer it as a symbol of... of peace. In the Fibonan culture to surrender a weapon is an offer of truce."
Teenaxi Delegate : "How did they come by it?"
Kirk : 
"They told me they acquired it a long time ago."
Teenaxi Delegate : "So they stole it then!"
Kirk : 
"No. Ummm..."
