Star Trek Quotes as part of the Quote of Week

Since it’s the 50 year Anniversary of Star Trek, and I’m a big nerd at times, I thought I would share some quotes from their various shows and movies down through the years that stick out in my mind….:)

“Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.”  Spock from Star Trek (from Vulcan Philosophy)

“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives.  But I rather think that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because they’ll never come again.  What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived.  After all, Number One, we’re only mortal.”  Cpt. Picard from Star Trek Next Generations.

“Things are only impossible until they are not.” Cpt Picard to Data

“After a time, you may find that  having  is not so pleasing a thing after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true.”  Spock (1967)

Space: The final frontier
These are the voyages of the Starship, Enterprise
Its 5 year mission
To explore strange new worlds
To seek out new life and new civilizations
To boldly go where no man has gone before

Quote of the Day – Value


“One’s life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, and compassion”

by Simone de Beauvoir

Ozymandias by Percy Badge Shelley


Ozymandias

Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792 – 1822

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
