Return to Tomorrow Quotes

• (Capt. Kirk) "That's twice you referred to us as "my children.""
• (Sargon) "Because it is possible you are our descendants, Captain Kirk. Six thousand centuries ago, our vessels were colonizing this galaxy, just as your own starships have now begun to explore that vastness. As you now leave your own seed on distant planets, so we left our seed behind us. Perhaps your own legends of an Adam and an Eve were two of our travelers."

Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon, or that we hadn't gone on to Mars and then to the nearest star? That's like saying you wish that you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with catgut like your great-great-great-great grandfather used to. I'm in command. I could order this, but I'm not because Doctor McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this, but I must point out that the possibilities; the potential for knowledge and advancement; is equally great. Risk. Risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her. You may dissent without prejudice. Do I hear a negative vote?"

• (Henoch) "Just think how much we can do for Mankind. Are these bodies too much to ask for in return?"

But is Captain Kirk dead? His body is, but his consciousness is still in the receptacle into which it was transferred earlier."

• (Dr. McCoy) "I see. And Henoch intends to keep Spock's body, of course."
• (Thalassa) "Henoch's plans are his own affair. I wish only to exist in peace as a living woman."
• (Dr. McCoy) "If you're asking my approval --"
• (Thalassa) "I require only your silence. Now only you and I will know that Dr. Mulhall has not returned to her body. Isn't that worth your captain's life? Doctor, we can take what we wish: Neither you nor this ship nor all your words have the power to stop us."
