Raining all day today, I just had the long walk into work and “Trust me, there’s no word for ‘crisp’ on Ferenginar.” comes into my head. What is one of your favorites?
Ode to Spot is pretty classic.
With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
Fuckin A right, buddy!
“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness… that is life.”
I love this quote and think it’s hilarious that it was said in response to Data moping about losing a video game.
Yeah this quote has gotten me through some bad times, as silly as that might seem.
Not silly at all. It’s a great quote and an important lesson for life
I pulled that out at work, and totally forgot it was star trek
“I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend.” – The Romulan commander in Balance of Terror
“In every revolution, there’s one man with a vision.” – Kirk in Mirror, Mirror
Starfleet was founded to seek out new life – well, there it sits! …waiting.
Bashir: “They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle.”
Garak: “Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which, no doubt, did serious damage to their egos.”
This is a good choice!
“… and no one ever offered him a command. He learned to play it safe, and he never, ever, got noticed by anyone”
This line has been the basis of several career changing events for me, and overall it’s worked out pretty well
One I quote often:
“What do I do?”
“FIND HIM AND KILL HIM”
Prune juice, a worriors drink!
“I am… fully functional.”
I can live with it.
It is glemming out there.
You’re mocking me aren’t you? - Worf when I need a deadpan response to someone razzing me.for some reason.
Capt. Picard:
The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based. And if you can’t find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don’t deserve to wear that uniform!
—TNG, The First Duty
Sisko:
Do you know what the trouble is? The trouble is Earth-on Earth there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. It’s easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the demilitarized zone all the problems haven’t been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints, just people-angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not.
And one from Quark:
Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people… will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.
Freedom!? That is our sacred word!
