@ami_angelwings All the monologues from Andor, but especially Nemik's Manifesto.

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause...

@ami_angelwings The blessing for the newborn twins from Kurt Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater:

"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: “God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

@ami_angelwings The TV show Angel, from the episode "Epiphany":

"If nothing we do matters ... then all that matters is what we do."

I think I jumped up and starting pacing in front of the TV the first time I saw this, I was so moved by it.

There are, of course, a huge number of quotes and monologues from TNG that stick out, from several scenes in The Measure of a Man to Drumhead. But one that really stuck with me from TOS:

"In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that, and perhaps more, only one of each of us." -McCoy to Kirk in Balance of Terror

@ami_angelwings

From "The Crow", both the graphic novel and the movie with Brandon Lee (paraphrased from Thackery).

"Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children."

@ami_angelwings "It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skillful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well, - this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole." - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed

@ami_angelwings 'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.

'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'

@ami_angelwings

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of . I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

— Roy Batty

There's a lot of great speeches and lines from Star Trek: The Next Generation but I always think about Soren's speech in "The Outcast":
