	McCoy : "Well, Jim, here's another morsel of agony for you: since Tyree  won't fight, he will be one of the first to die."
	Apella: "I thought my people would grow tired of killing. But you  were right, they see it is easier than trading. And it has its  pleasures. I feel it myself. Like the hunt, but with richer  rewards."
	Kirk: "We once were as you are. Spears and arrows. There came a  time when our weapons grew faster than our wisdom, and we almost  destroyed ourselves. We learned from this to make a rule during  all our travels never to cause the same to happen to other  worlds... just as a man must grow in his own way and his own time."
	Kirk: "War isn't a good life, but it's life."
	Kirk: "The only solution is...a balance of power. We arm our side  with exactly that much more. A balance of power... the trickiest,  most difficult, dirtiest game of them all. But the only one that  preserves both sides."
	Kirk: "We are wise enough to know we are wise enough not to  interfere with the way of a man or another world."
	Nona: "There is an old custom among my people. When a woman saves a  man's life, he is grateful."
