David Marcus: Remember that overgrown Boy Scout you used to hang around with? That's exactly the kind of guy... Carol Marcus: Listen, kiddo, Jim Kirk was *many* things, but he was *never* a Boy Scout!
[Kirk has been informed of an incoming transmission from Dr. Carol Marcus] Dr. McCoy: It never rains but it pours. Kirk: As a doctor, you of all people should be aware of the dangers of reopening old wounds.
Kirk: [Kirk is reacting - badly - to Spock ordering Saavik to take the Enterprise out of spacedock, something she has never done before] McCoy: Do you want a tranquilizer? Kirk: [shakes head quickly]
Kirk: [to McCoy, who is still lying where he fell during Saavik's simulation] Physician, heal thyself. McCoy: Is that all you've got to say? What about my performance? Kirk: I'm not a drama critic!
Kirk: Time? Saavik: Three minutes, thirty seconds. Kirk: Distance from Reliant? Chekov: 4000 kilometers. Sulu: We're not going to make it, are we? [Kirk turns to look at David, who slowly shakes his head]
Caine: Went into the store just to get a beer. Came out an accessory to murder and armed robbery. It's funny like that in the hood sometimes. You never knew what was gonna happen, or when. After that I knew it was gonna be a long summer.
Caine: I thought killing those fools would make me feel good, but it really didn't make me feel anything. I just knew that I could kill somebody, and if I had to, I could do it again.
Tony: [after Tat Lawson shoots Man #2] The fuck you trippin' off of? Tat Lawson: Do you owe me some money, motherfucker? Tony: [Tosses Tat Lawson some cash] Hell no! But here you go!

Consider the Koran, for example; this wretched book was sufficient to start a world-religion, to satisfy the metaphysical need for countless millions for twelve hundred years, to become the basis of their morality and of a remarkable contempt for dea...
Our modern world defined God as a ‘religious complex’ and laughed at the Ten Commandments as OLD FASHIONED. Then, through the laughter came the shattering thunder of the World War. And now a blood-drenched, bitter world — no longer laughing —...
I am a star in the firmament that observe the world, despises the world and consumed in its heat. I am the sea by night in a storm the sea shouting that accumulates new sins and to the ancient makes recompense. I am exiled from your world of pride po...
Science is the search for the truth--it is not a game in which one tries to beat his opponent, to do harm to others. We need to have the spirit of science in international affairs, to make the conduct of international affairs the effort to find the r...
During the time that gave me an education in the field of immunology, I discovered that he and I were thinking about the serologic problem in very different ways. He would ask, What do these experiments force us to believe about the nature of the wor...
Dante Hicks: Why *do* the Go-Karts help? Randal Graves: I don't know. They just remind me of a better time in my life. Dante Hicks: Like when? Randal Graves: Like when we were young and the world was still in front of us. Dante Hicks: We're not that ...
There is neither a foreign war nor a civil war; there is only just and unjust war.
We already live on the planet of war, we already live on the red planet, and it's a war against children. All the other wars are just the shadows of the war on children.
Again, in Wag the Dog, war has to be declared by an act of congress. But if you go to war, you don't have to declare war. You're just at war and we did that, which is not legal.
