Over her cobalt-and-black uniform, her hair was a Cleopatra crown of pure
terra cotta -- and there was just *something* about a redhead.
                -- Diane Carey
                   _Ghost_Ship_

Dying is irreversible in my estimation.
                -- Capt. Picard
                   _Ghost_Ship_

Refusing to make a decision is its own kind of cowardice.
                -- Capt. Picard
                   _Ghost_Ship_

Heaven is a transporter room.
                -- Andrew Deelor
                   _The_Children_of_Hamlin_

Never apologize for the truth...
                -- Capt. Picard
                   _The_Children_of_Hamlin_

So far I have failed to comprehend the appeal of unconsciousness.
                -- Cmdr. Data
                   _The_Children_of_Hamlin_

Dammit, nobody orders my medical staff around but me!
                -- Dr. Crusher
                   _The_Children_of_Hamlin_

Gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich.

Womankind more joy discovers
Making fools, than keeping lovers.
                -- Poet
                   _Survivors_

Picard: Worf, do you have eleven weapons on you?
  Worf: Of course not, sir.
Picard: Good... How many DO you have on you?
  Worf: Fourteen.
        ...
  Gava: Fourteen?  In a uniform far less designed                   
        for weapons concealment than that of a
        Klingon?  Very impressive.
  Worf: Everything about me is very impressive.
                   _Strike_Zone_

Picard: This is Captain Picard.  You have some business with us?
 Kreel: Yes, business.  You are to surrender your ship to us.
  Worf: Permission to blast them from space, sir.
                   _Strike_Zone_

Picard: (to Data) You're joking.
  Data: Joking?  Most unlikely, sir.
                   _Strike_Zone_

 Picard: Are you implying, Mr. LaForge, that I was once a teenager?
LaForge: Never, sir.
 Picard: I should think not.
                   _Strike_Zone_

 Picard: The Starship Enterprise has done quite well for close to a
         century before Mr. Crusher came along, Doctor.  We can 
         certainly muddle through without him for a while longer,
         if you need him down there.
Pulaski: Oh my.  Close to a century, you say?  May I make note of the
         fact that this is the fifth model of the good ship Enterprise?
         And not only that, but it's my understanding that our Mr. 
         Crusher was instrumental, on several occasions, in delaying
         the need for a sixth?  Perhaps if Mr. Crusher had been born
         a generation earlier, we would still be at NCC-1701 without
         the 'D' suffix.
                   _Strike_Zone_                   

One cannot take offense at the truth.
                -- Lt. Worf
                   _Strike_Zone_

   Data: Doctor... it has been a very educational conversation.
Pulaski: Why, thank you, Data.  I certainly hope you'll be able
         to store it away somewhere.
   Data: And I hope you will as well, Doctor.
Pulaski: Well, Data, not being a machine, I wouldn't know where.
   Data: I think, Doctor, you know where you can store it.
         ...
   Data: (to Wesley) I certainly hope it was an appropriate thing
         to say.
 Wesley: It was an insult!
   Data: Was it?
 Wesley: Yes!
   Data: Are you quite certain?
 Wesley: Absolutely certain.
   Data: Good.

I've read their [human's] philosophies.  They don't realize that
turning the other cheek simply results in getting bruises on
both sides of your face.
                -- Gava
                   _Strike_Zone_

Compassion can get you a knife in the back.
                -- Worf
                   _Strike_Zone_

To speak someone's name is to establish a degree of familiarity.
It gives you a certain power over someone with whom you talk,
either bringing you up to their level, or them down to yours.  
... Those you consider your peers you address by given names.
But you would not dream of addressing the captain as Jean-Luc,
nor would I.
                -- Ambassador Kobry
                   _Strike_Zone_

  Data: Oh.  Have I been babbling again?
Picard: Like a brook.
                   _Strike_Zone_

Some costs are too high, no matter what the return.
                -- Cmdr. Riker
                   _Power_Hungry_

Klingonese always sounds like somebody either 
gargling or getting strangled.
                -- Lt. Cmdr. LaForge
                   _Power_Hungry_                   

  Riker: You didn't see this, Geordi.
LaForge: See what?  I'm blind, remember?
                   _Power_Hungry_

...it was rather hard to hide moody undercurrents
from an empath sitting eighteen inches away.
                -- Howard Weinstein   
                   _Power_Hungry_                

Sometimes the only way to win a battle is to
avoid fighting it.

                   _Power_Hungry_

'Our actions are our own; their consequences belong to heaven'.
                -- Saint Francis of Assisi, 
                     as quoted by Ambassador Lewis
                   _Masks_

A Klingon is no one's vassal.

If you're bashing each other with swords all 
the time, you need a healer.

All experiences are pathways to wisdom.  Even the distasteful ones.

Had I sneezed, you would not be standing.
                -- Lt. Worf
                   _A_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place_

Kid, you'll go anywhere, do anything, to get your hands on a female.
And you go through 'em like lightning.  I think we'll call you Thunderball.
                -- Jackson Carter, to Riker
                   _A_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place_

There are no atheists in foxholes.
                -- Counselor Troi, quoting an old earth saying
                   _A_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place_

No one goes from my sickbay unless I tell them to.
                -- Doctor Crusher
                   _A_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place_

I am only human.
                -- Cmdr. Data
                   _Metamorphosis_

I don't think women know they go around tempting men just by being female.
                -- Cmdr. LaForge
                   _Metamorphosis_

To be forced to fight is to have lost the first battle.
                -- Darryl Adin
                   _Metamorphosis_

  Pris: Good night, Data.
  Data: It is actually morning, ship's time.
  Pris: Good morning, then, but I'm going to bed anyway.
        Perhaps we can work on your intuition at a time when
        I'm not so sleepy.
  Data: I think I missed something.
Guinan: Yes, you did.
  Data: What?
Guinan: Your friend wanted to know more about you.
  Data: She did not ask me any questions.
Guinan: There are certain things a womand does not come
        right out and ask a man.
  Data: But what could she not ask *me*? And why?
Guinan: When you work out *what*, you'll know why.

                -- Harry S Truman, as quoted by Professor Coleridge
                   _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_

Data:  What would you suggest we do?
Worf:  Perhaps I should shoot him.
Data:  That seems a bit extreme.
Worf:  That was not my extreme plan.  I suspect you would not want
       to hear my extreme plan.
                   _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_

For of all sad words of tongue of pen, the saddest are these: 'It might
have been!'
                -- John Greenleaf Whittier, as quoted by Data
                   _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_

Gregach: You speak your mind at times when you can ill afford to do so.
Worf:    I speak my mind, and let the times attend to themselves.
                   _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_

I have learned that if I had been allowed to shoot things when I wanted
to shoot themin the first place, we would have significantly fewer problems.
                -- Lt. Worf
                   _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_

Don't you know the definition of a diplomat, Captain?  One who can tell you
to go to Hell -- and make you look forward to the trip.
                -- Ambassador Navirra
                   _Exiles_

I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker.

Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.

                -- Commander Riker

                   _Contamination_

The Borg uni-mind fired off a message to the intruder.  It was a simple
message:  SURRENDER.
   The reply from the intruder was equally succinct:  GO TO HELL.
                -- Peter David
                   _Vendetta_

I'm a doctor, not a psychic.

Turane: As long as we come to an understanding about --
  Borg: Understanding is irrelevant.
Turane: I have needs.
  Borg: Needs are irrelevant.
Turane: All you've discussed is what you want.  What about me?
  Borg: You are irrelevant.

Data, the point is that every fight is worth fighting.
Even the hopeless ones.

                   _Vendetta_

   Picard took some measure of enjoyment in that there were certain universal
constants, one of them seemingly that it always took women longer to make
themselves presentable than it did men.
                -- Peter David
                   _Vendetta_

   Indeed, some might say that the Klingon (Worf) had a terminal case of
itchy trigger finger -- terminal for whomever the phaser was pointed at.
                -- Peter David
                   _Vendetta_

Borg:  Prepare to be assimilated by the Borg.
Worf:  Prepare to eat phasers.
                   _Vendetta_

Phasers are the universal communicators.

                   _Vendetta_

He (Wesley) wondered if he would ever understand women.  The fact that even
Riker was occasionally mystified by them did not give him hope.
                -- Mel Gilden
                   _Boogeymen_

Wesley:  What did I do wrong?
Picard:  You did nothing wrong.  No one has ever triumphed over the
         Kobayashi Maru scenario.
Data:    Though legend has it that about eighty years ago, certain cadets
         fought it to a standstill.
Picard:  Legend.  Academy scuttlebutt.

Picard, the list of things you find unamusing is truly staggering.  Someday
I might actually find something to crack that stoic facade.

Look around you, Riker.  There were twice as many people

out the photon torpedo tube.

If something attacks you, shoot it.  If it doesn't attack
you, leave it alone.  Everything else is just window dressing.

Winning isn't everything, sir... but losing isn't anything.

If knowledge is power, then knowledge of the future is

Cmdr. Riker:  For all you knew, *I* could have been one of *them*.
              When you came here, you might have been walking into
              a trap.
Adm.  Riker:  I know.  That's why I mentioned the lines of poetry
              to you.  I watched your reaction very carefully.  
              That wasn't just to convince you that I'm you.  It
              was also to convince me that you're me.
Capt. Picard: I hate to break this up, but I, who am unquestionably
              me, would be most grateful if either of you cared to
              tell either of me WHAT IN HELL IS GOING ON?
