Star Trek is one of the most quotable franchises out there for any fan, new or old. As Trekkies, we are birthed in a wealth of references that we can repeat at will — from the everyday Spockisms, the 'boldly go's, the variations on a theme of "I'm a doctor, not a…," to the nitty-gritty, knee-deep kind of citation that would be most at home in any cetacean observation.

By now, Star Trek contains thousands upon thousands of lines of dialogue, and a staggering quantity amongst them have become the memorable and transformative quotes that make us the fans we are today. Given the vast amount of options to choose from, this list will be as relatively short as it is subjective. Our first duty is to the quote, and we shall no doubt stumble before we find our footing, so keep your shirt on (lieutenant)!

Here, we will also stick to lines that were spoken on screen and not any made about Star Trek by those in it. These are those forever quotable quotes that define what it means to be a Trekkie. All that's really left to say is "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra… I am Locutus of Borg. You are Borg."
