I’m a doctor, not a battery.
“DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK, Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher?”
“No, sir! Commander, sir!”
Commander William T. Riker: Now, first words out of your mouth are the most important. You may want to start with something like this.
[to Guinan]
Commander William T. Riker: You are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy…
[to Wesley]
Commander William T. Riker: But that might not work.
Darmok on the ocean.
Tanagra on the ocean. Darmok at Tanagra.
Jalad on the ocean. Jalad at Tanagra.

The night of the cascade, a bright flash cut across the sky, so blinding that… people threw themselves to the ground. And everything stopped, like a moment out of time. Then we all looked up to see where the flash had come from. But… the sky seemed oddly empty. It took most of us a few seconds to realize it was because Rinax was… gone.

Seize the time, Meribor. Live now. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.
“We were retreating! There was no need for a suicide run!”
“They’re showing us just how far they’re willing to go.”
Yeah, well, don’t quit your day job.
There’s no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.
McCoy: I wish we hadn’t had to do this.
Kirk: So do I. They gave us so much - the Greek civilization, much of our culture and philosophy came from the worship of those beings. In a way, they began the Golden Age. Would it have hurt us, I wonder, just to have gathered a few laurel leaves?
I’m not sleeping. I was checking my eyelids for holes.
It’s life, Jake. You can miss it if you don’t open your eyes.
Data: I hate it. It is revolting!
Guinan: More?
Data: Please.
I get it! I get it! When you said “The clown can stay, but the Ferengi in the gorilla suit has to go!”
