Quotes 

• Captain Nyota Uhura : [narrating]  It's said if you move but one grain of sand, you run the risk of altering history.

• Captain Nyota Uhura : [narrating]  Captain's personal log, Stardate 6712.4. As head of Starfleet Linguistic, my recent assignments have been most rewarding. So much so, I'm finding it hard to believe it's been forty years since I was first assigned to the Enterprise under Captain Kirk's command. I should be elated to attend the ceremonies honoring his accomplishments, but the memory of his passing twelve years ago is still very painful. And it doesn't help that my dear friend Scotty is still missing. Or that Sulu is away in the Gamma Quadrant for the next three years. Or that McCoy and Spock won't be able to break away from their negotiations with the Klingons. All this has made me realize that something is... missing in my life. Perhaps though, seeing some old friends attending the dedication of a very special ship is exactly what I need. Something we all need.

• Captain Nyota Uhura : Charlie... Charlie Evans?

  Charlie Evans : The singing lady remembers.

• Tuvok : Are you suggesting that the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many?

  Madame Uhura : I'm suggesting that history proves it. It's filled with groups who have decided that their needs were more important than others. The result: slavery, genocide. You don't believe me? Just look at the Galactic Order.

• Madame Uhura : Could one man's absence cause all of this change?

  Kittrick : It's possible. One pivotal change, seventy years ago.

• Captain Nyota Uhura : [narrating]  Personal log, Stardate 7615.1. It doesn't seem like a year's past since we restored our normal timeline. As I conclude my last entry as captain, my thoughts are not on that single grain of sand we might disturb accidentally, but on the fact that we are endowed with free will and can choose ideas that can either lead to deadly consequences or to joyous rewards. So truly, our destiny lies not in the stars, but within ourselves.

• Captain Pavel Chekov : This almost makes me feel like a kid again!

  Captain Nyota Uhura : Well, it should. The last time you sat in that seat, you were a kid.

• Charlie Evans : Leave her alone!

  Gary Mitchell : [chuckles wickedly]  She's going to tell me where Kittrick is.

  Charlie Evans : What moral right?

  Gary Mitchell : [another chuckle]  Morals are for men, not for Gods.

  Madame Uhura : And you are neither.

• Captain Nyota Uhura : [raising her glass]  Here's to forty years of high adventure!

  Admiral Chekov : [raises his glass]  Here's to the next forty.

  [Captain Uhura gives him a puzzled look] 

  Admiral Chekov : Well, as Spock is so fond of saying: there is always a possibility...
