Trekkie Quotes

“When taking Spock to see the spores, Leila comments, "It's not much further." having been beaten about the head severely on the difference between "further" and "farther," I believe I can say with some trembling confidence that she should say, "it's not much farther." "Further" means "to a greater extent or degree" whereas "farther" means "to a greater distance." (I know this is really picky, but hey, that's my business.)”
― Phil Farrand, The Nitpicker's Guide for Classic Trekkers

“This was a conversation I had with a so-called-fellow-trekkie the other day:

''So Picard or Kirk?'' I asked.

''What?''

''Star Trek...''

''Oh, Kirk.''

''Why?''

''I like the name better.''

I could have slammed his head against the table.”
― Melanie Kay Taylor

“I have no way to properly toast you, my Jane. The appropriate toast for a new Blood Master of a clan is from the jugular of a virgin boy or girl, with the words ‘Long undeath, prosperity, scions, blood, and cattle.’”
I looked at my beer. “Yeah. Beer is better. And how about ‘Live long and prosper.”
― Faith Hunter, Dark Queen
