“How can one live on a flicker of light?”
  • Shahna, after Kirk tells her that he comes from one of the stars in the sky
“All your people must learn before you can reach for the stars.”
  • Kirk’s parting words to Shahna
The combat begins. Kirk takes out Kloog and then Lars, but only wounds the Andorian. Shahna is brought in to replace the wounded. Kirk does not want to fight her, but she accuses him of having tricked her with lies and attacks. Kirk gets her on the ground with his knife to her throat and she surrenders. The Providers keep their word and tell everyone to remove their collars. Kirk tells Shahna that he did not lie and she asks if she can go with him back to the lights in the sky. He tells her that she has much to learn here first before reaching for the stars.

Contrast the above with the musical group “Genesis” (ironically, the name of the first book of the Bible) in its album Nursery Cryme (1971):
“And the nurse will tell you lies of a kingdom beyond the skies”

Presumably, in the astronomy or metaphysics of the musical group “Genesis”, all kingdoms in the universe are on the planet Earth.
 
I like Spock’s line from ‘Amok Time’ to his rival Stonn: “Stonn, she is yours. 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.”

Irradiated, desiccated, zapped or turned to goo,
hail the unsung hero: lowly member of the crew.
Beaming down at Kirk’s request,
his function is to die.
They very seldom bury him and nobody will cry.
So he goes to heaven with all his lines unsaid,
and his only eulogy?–McCoy says,
“Jim, he’s dead.”

Not as good as the Morg’s description of the Eymorg:

“The givers of pain… and delight.”

Another favourite quote:

Example of Vulcan ruffled ego: “I see no logic in preferring Stonn over me.”
