Boy! There are times when I get the feeling that science develops things that are supposed to be good for us, but that just make trouble.
I see. Then, as the Bajoran liaison officer, what will you be doing to fight the Dominion?
What we discussed. Keep your distance. Web 'em up.
Ah, goober rounds. Shoot first, ask for concessions later.
You have one possession of consequence and that is your future and you refuse to allow others to threaten what is yours.
My precioussss!
Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can’t trade for your heart’s desire is your heart.
“Let’s just say we’d like to avoid any Imperial entanglements.”
“Well that’s the real trick, isn’t it? And it’s gonna cost you extra. Ten thousand, all in advance.”
“Ten thousand!? We could almost buy our own ship for that!”
Stop it. We all got problems. I’m stuck with student loans too, unless I win the lottery. Yesterday you went back into last year so you could publish another paper.
Time is the fire in which we burn.
“I have the strangest feeling I will never see him again.”

[The Vorlon turns and moves away.]
“Considering this will be your home for the foreseeable future perhaps you should start decorating.”
“It takes more than six walls to hold me.”

“We’re in a cube, Peggy. Try to keep up.”
‘Use your imagination, man. Consider the top of the first cube in relation to the top of the second; that’s cube number three. Then the two bottom squares, then the front faces of each cube, the back faces, the right hand, the left hand—eight cubes.’
Speaking of ways, pet, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract.
How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.
I flipped a coin to decide, and of course won since I had palmed the coin before the toss. It was going to be action.
Flash steps into the throne room
Dale is held by Emperor Ming
Ming gestures and orders surrender
Flash’s weapon starts to sing:
Eat hot photons, laser breath!
Okay–Let’s compare! Weaponry is amazingly similar…
Wizard: By this wand of power I banish thee to nothingness!! <CRAK!>
Tech: Eat hot photons, martian slime! <ZAP!>
But there will be moments, particularly after the first round of survival drills, when you will think that you have made a terrible mistake by leaving the safety of Earth. At that time, remind yourself that you are an adventurer! You are part of a grand tradition of adventurers who venture into hostile environs.
Ever see a plant with teeth—that bite? I don’t think you want to. You’d have to be on Pyrrus and that means you would be dead within seconds of leaving the ship.
