Two come to mind. The well-known Arthur C. Clarke quote about sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic, and that Jurassic Park quote 'You spent so much time think about whether or not you could, you forgot to think whether or not your should.' Not sure if that's the exact wording.

From a Star Trek book regarding a quote from Harry Mudd that Spock is thinking about. "Everything I say is a lie. In fact I'm lying to you right now."

Shape of things to come

Out there is the universe. The unknown. Where all possibilities exist, and man's futuere is limited only by his imagination and his vision of the stars.


Yoda in Star wars. "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Lost in Space (the series) Danger Will Robinson.

Star Trek V: The final Frontier "I'm afraid I overshot the mark by one level." "Well No one's perfect." lol

Actually, that quote was said to the android Norman. I forget who said it to Norman but it was one of the Enterprise crew.
