“Most everyone has a moment in their lives when they exceed their own limits … achieve what seems to be impossible. … You almost always feel a sense of loss.  But it’s possible to carry something of that experience through the rest of your life-in ways that you’re not even aware of now.” - Deanna Troi, Star Trek: The Next Generation

“Compassion: that’s the one things no machine ever had.  Maybe it’s the one thing that keeps men ahead of them.” - Leonard McCoy, Star Trek: The Original Series

“If being human is not simply a matter of being born flesh and blood … if it is instead a way of thinking, acting … and feeling … then I am hopeful that one day I will discover my own humanity.  Until then, I will continue … learning, changing, growing … and trying to become more than what I am.” - Data, Star Trek: The Next Generation

“In this galaxy, there’s a mathematical probability of three million earth-type planets … and in all the universe, three million million galaxies like this one.  And in all of that, and perhaps more, only one of each of us.” - Leonard McCoy, Star Trek: The Original Series

“Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.” - Spock, Star Trek: The Original Series

“Too much of anything, even love, isn’t necessarily a good thing.” - James T. Kirk, Star Trek: The Original Series

“After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting.  It is not logical, but it is often true.” - Spock, Star Trek: The Original Series
