Kirk: "We think
of ourselves as the most powerful beings in the universe. It's
unsettling to discover that we're wrong."
Kirk: "The
trigger has been pulled. We've got to get there before the hammer
falls."
Kor: "I don't
trust men who smile too much."
Kor: "You speak
of courage. Obviously you do not know the difference between courage
and foolhardiness. Always it is the brave ones who die, the
soldiers."
Kirk: "I'm a
soldier, not a diplomat. I can only tell the truth."
Kor: "If some day
we are defeated, well, war has its fortunes, good and bad."
Spock: "Curious,
how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want."
Kirk: "Another
Armenia, Belgium... the weak innocents who always seem to be located
on a natural invasion route."
