The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity.
And the way our differences combine to create meaning and beauty.

Half a gallon of scotch.
[Chekov, as Billy Claiborne, is not too happy that Kirk has stopped him from deeply kissing Sylvia]
What can I do, Captain? You know we are always supposed to maintain good relations with the natives!
[Spock notes how a forcefield stops them from getting out of town and thus avoid the upcoming showdown]
Physical reality is consistent with universal laws. Where the laws do not operate, there is no reality. All of this...is unreal.
[The Enterprise is hailed by the Melkotians]

Captain Kirk. You did not kill. Is this the way of your kind?
We fight only when there is no other choice. We prefer the ways of peaceful contact. I speak for a vast alliance of fellow creatures who believe in the same thing. We have sought you out to join us. Our mission is still one of peace.
MMelkotian
Approach our planet and be welcome. A delegation will come out to meet you. Our warning threats are over.
Excellent. Lieutenant, cancel Red Alert. Mister Chekov, resume original course, warp factor two.
Warp factor two, sir.
Captain. May I ask a question? You needn't answer if it seems too personal.
I'm sure I'll be able to give you an answer, Mister Spock
This afternoon, you wanted to kill, didn't you?
But he didn't kill, Mister Spock.
But he wanted to, Doctor.
Is that the way it seemed to you?
Yes, sir.
Mister Spock... you're absolutely right. That's exactly the way it was.
Mankind. Ready to kill.
That's the way it was in 1881.
I wonder how humanity managed to survive.
... We overcame our instinct for violence.
There's another way to survive-- Mutual trust and help.
No one can guarantee the actions of another.
Those who hate and fight must stop themselves, Doctor, otherwise it is not stopped.

Only a fool fights in a burning house.
Captain's log: Stardate...Armageddon.
Has there ever been a mutiny on a starship before?
Absolutely no record of such an occurrence, Ensign.
We must accept the fact that Captain Kirk is no longer alive.
There's no hurry, Mr. Spock. The antidote probably doesn't concern you. Vulcans are probably immune. So just take your time.
[speaking to Spock and McCoy on a taped message] Bones. Spock. Since you are playing this tape, we will assume that I am dead. And the tactical situation is critical, and both of you are locked in mortal combat. It means, Spock, that you have control of the ship and are probably making the most difficult decisions of your career. I can offer only one small piece of advice, for whatever it's worth: use every scrap of knowledge and logic you have to save the ship. But temper your judgement with intuitive insight. I believe you have those qualities, but if you can't find them in yourself... seek out McCoy. Ask his advice. And if you find it sound... take it. Bones. You've heard what I've just told Spock. Help him if you can. But remember, he is the Captain. His decisions must be followed, without question. You might find that he is capable of human insight and human error. They are most difficult to defend. But you will find he is deserving of the same loyalty and confidence each of you... have given me, Take care.
What is it [the antidote]?
It's a diluted theragen derivative.
Theragen-- a nerve gas used by the Klingons.
Aye, and deadly, too. What are you thinking of, Doc? Are you trying to kill us all?
