I love the lead-in to your quote: “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”

That TOS episode is the source of one of my favorites: “Freedom? That is worship word.” Of course, you have to do the voice, too.

“The avalanche has already started, it is too late for the pebbles to vote”. Kosh, Babylon 5

“You know the greatest danger facing us is ourselves, an irrational fear of the unknown. But there’s no such thing as the unknown - only things temporarily hidden, temporarily not understood.”-James T. Kirk

“Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow.”
