Favorite Nimoy quote?

[mantari]

Come on. I know you all have some of your favorite lines from Nimoy.

I think mine is, "I am the state."

New Civ Catchphrase:
"Needs more Nimoy."

[Rosscifer]

beep beep beep beep

Beep Beep Beep Beep wins for me.

But for some reason, I tingle when he says "Put your shoulder to the wheel".

Think its cuz its the first thing he said in my first game.

"Beep beep beep beep" is a born classic, but I'm impartial to "Your design* is not complete when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take out." It's elegant and I like to apply that to many things, mostly writing.

* I think it was design.

Other rather memorable ones:

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. "

(Set him on fire, and he is warm for the rest of his life.)

"All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts."

[LordShiva]

"The beauracracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding beauracracy."

[Imran Siddiqui]

I wish they'd do what they did in SMAC and all say the source of the quote. Alas..

[monkspider]

"I fooled you. I fooled you. I got pig iron. I got pig iron. I got all pig iron."

[Backpack]

Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep


I literally fell out of my chair.

Yup, gotta give it to Firaxis - Mr. Nimoy + the choice of quotes was a masterstroke. Every single quote is perfectly chosen, and some of them are very ingenious and are stuff that you wouldn't have expected to be referring to some tech or game concept, even if you have known the quote before - yet fit exremely well when you think about it.

Ok, they're not Nimoy quotes, factually.
They're quotes from people spoken by Nimoy.
I think it comes with a source most of the time btw.

I think everybody here knows it. I think.

Aha! Was it Spock time travelling around and planting those quotes throughout history to give his alter-ego actor identity the opportunity to deliver them? Eh? Eh?

My favourite Nimoy quote is "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one" but I'm not sure I heard that in this game

I'm not sure if everybody knows it.
Remember that they MTV generation is currently being attached to cIV and browsing these boards!

They might become the generation that thinks that Spock said all those cool things. (and milk comes from the factory)
