"...Good words. That's where ideas begin."
-- Dr. David Marcus to Admiral James T. Kirk, Star Trek® II: The Wrath of Khan™
It makes us wonder. It makes us smile. But most of all, it makes us think.
More than any other single aspect, Star Trek is defined by the strength of its ideas. For decades this television and movie phenomenon has reached out to its audience, spanning generations and inspiring them not simply with the power of its voice, but with the meaning behind it.
Quotable Star Trek demonstrates the truly universal appeal of Gene Roddenberry's extraorinary creation. Words of wit, wisdom, and compelling insight applicable to everyday life from The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation®, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine®, Star Trek Voyager®, and eight Star Trek motion pictures have been meticulously researched and collected in one volume. Intensely thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining, Quotable Star Trek has something for everyone, and is a must-have resource for every devoted fan.

Quotable Star Trek
Excerpt
Chapter 1: The Human Condition
"A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away."
- Dr. Philip Boyce to Captain Christopher Pike
Star Trek: The Original Series/"The Cage"
"Charlie, there are a million things in this universe you can have and there are a million things you can't have. It's no fun facing that, but that's the way things are."
"Then what am I going to do?"
"Hang on tight. And survive. Everybody does."

TOS/"Charlie X"
"In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that...and perhaps more, only one of each of us."
- Dr. Leonard McCoy to Kirk
TOS/"Balance of Terror"
"Being a red-blooded human obviously has its disadvantages."
- Commander Spock to McCoy

- Anton Karidian and Kirk
TOS/"The Conscience of the King"
"We're a most promising species, Mister Spock, as predators go. Did you know that?"
"I've frequently had my doubts."
"I don't. Not any more. And maybe, in a thousand years or so, we'll be able to prove it."
- Kirk and Spock, on the Metron's judgment
TOS/"Arena"
"Sometimes pain can drive a man harder than pleasure."
