Quotes of Note

This is a collection of quoteworthy things from books, tv, or where ever. It's very a small collection at the moment of some stuff I've written down in order to remember and kind of here just to amuse myself!

"You know that stuff they're selling now at the local shop, 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter'. Well, you know, I can't believe it's not butter. Then yesterday ... I bought this other stuff, like a sort of home-brand you know... Well I can't believe the stuff that is not 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' is not 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter', and I can't believe that both 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' and the stuff I can't believe is not 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' are both, in fact, not butter. And I believe they both might be butter, in a cunning disguise. And if fact there's a lot more butter around than we all thought there was."

         Kirk didn't see the point. "But we were, weren't we?"
"Well, yes, sir. But at the time, there was no official recognition of that fact. Earth was subject to regular observation by Vulcan probe shops, and sporadic visits by other space farers, all adhering to a version of the doctrine of noninterference. Except for the Reticulans, of course."
         "Of course," Kirk and Picard said in unison.

p.242, "Star Trek Preserver" by William Shatner with Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens

"Don't worry, I'll delete myself at the first sign of trouble. Well, maybe not the first sign."
