Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Life, Consciousness and Existence Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Quote #1

DAVID: Every time we have dealings with Starfleet, I get nervous. We are dealing with something that could be perverted into a dreadful weapon.

Something we were saying about life and death being two sides of the same coin?

Quote #2

SPOCK: Lieutenant, have you ever piloted a starship out of Space dock?

SAAVIK: Never, sir.

SPOCK: Take her out, Mister Saavik.

SAAVIK: Aye sir.

SPOCK: For everything there is a first time, Lieutenant.

That's profound, man. It also reminds us in the middle of a movie about growing older, that something new always arises to take its place…and that that's really kind of awesome.

Quote #3

KIRK: I told Starfleet all we had was a boatload of children, but we're the only ship in the Quadrant. Spock, these cadets of yours, how good are they? How will they respond under real pressure?

SPOCK: As with all living things, each according to his gifts.

That's not really an answer, Spock, but okay. It is accurate. And more importantly, it reveals that no one really knows how someone will respond in a situation until they're actually in that situation.
