Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
The selections in Quotable Star Trek run the gamut of era and subject and are divided into 32 sections. In chapters such as The Human Condition, Life and Death, Peace and War, Freedom, and Personal Favorites, you'll find hundreds of memorable maxims from all incarnations of Trek: the original series, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and all the movies--but the one quote you won't find is, "Beam me up, Scotty." After browsing a page or two, you may be surprised at how evocative a few words can be:

"There is something to be learned when you're not in control of every situation." --Counselor Deanna Troi to Riker


"Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects. And claw at you." "What does the man do?"
"He reads love poetry. He ducks a lot."
--Worf and Wesley, on Klingon mating rituals


"I've found that nothing keeps me alert quite like a healthy fear of death."
--Sisko to Weyoun


"I have a sense of humor. On the Enterprise, I was considered to be quite amusing."
"That must've been one dull ship."
"That is a joke. I get it. It is not funny, but I get it."
--Worf and Dax


"What do you call those?"
"I call them ears."
"Are you trying to be funny?"
"Never."
--Flavius and Spock


"She brought me closer to humanity than I ever thought possible. And for a time, I was tempted by her offer."
"How long a time?"
"Zero point six-eight seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity."
--Data and Picard, on the Borg queen


"Look, I'm a doctor, not an escalator."
--McCoy to Eleen, on needing help to get her up the mountain


Author Jill Sherwin has culled a winning collection that preserves the best moments of countless episodes. Die-hard trekkers will love the depth and breadth of lore captured in Quotable Star Trek. Those of us who consider ourselves "just fans" will be surprised at how fun it is to peruse these Trek time capsules. --Jhana Bach

Product Description:


"...Good words. That's where ideas begin."
-- Dr. David Marcus to Admiral James T. Kirk, Star Trek® II: The Wrath of Khan™


It makes us wonder. It makes us smile. But most of all, it makes us think.

More than any other single aspect, Star Trek is defined by the strength of its ideas. For decades this television and movie phenomenon has reached out to its audience, spanning generations and inspiring them not simply with the power of its voice, but with the meaning behind it.

Quotable Star Trek demonstrates the truly universal appeal of Gene Roddenberry's extraorinary creation. Words of wit, wisdom, and compelling insight applicable to everyday life from The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation®, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine®, Star Trek Voyager®, and eight Star Trek motion pictures have been meticulously researched and collected in one volume. Intensely thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining, Quotable Star Trek has something for everyone, and is a must-have resource for every devoted fan.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book that is easy to read and lets you relive the episodes
As many of the previous reviewers said this book has many quotes from the original series, to The Next Generation, to Deep Space Nine, to Voyager, and all the movies. It is a light book that you can pick up and put down or as another reviewer said read it lazily under a tree.
Also as other reviewers stated it has great cross-referencing in the back by speaker or theme. The quotes are all placed into different chapters by general subject but several of the quotes are repeated in several places ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "All is as it should be...."
I originally bought this book at the Star Trek Experience in Las vegas, and I gave them as gifts to a lot of my friends and neighbors whose kids have never known a world where "Star Trek" did not exist and for those of us who have been around for all the Trek experiences this is a treasure of a book, Humor, wisdom and even gidance is written in these pages...open any page and somewhere on it will be something "that will make you think"...a grand experience on all levels



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great ... so far
I love this book! It takes all of the best Trek lines, and cross-references them by speaker, episode and theme.
The only other thing I would like to see would be an updated volume, with the rest of the DS9 and Voyager episodes, the Enterprise series and the last two movies. Then this wonderful book would be complete.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great quotes from a great show
This is the best possible book they could use with star trek quotes. It includes tons of different catagories of quotes, from all of the series and movies. It also has the For the Fans which has some of the first quotes that were used in Star Trek and other momentous occasions for us obsessive star trek fans :)
A must buy if you are even remotley addicted to star trek.....a great book for the trekkies :)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An absolutely wonderful book
This book is a treasure. Something to be sampled in small doses, to stretch out the experience. Another reviewer was right -- the quotes live up to the blurb on the back. Jill Sherwin did a great job. This is an absolute must-have, or at least must-read. P.S. The pictures are pretty good, too.
