Quotes 

• Apollo : I am Apollo!

  Ensign Pavel Chekov : [sarcastically]  And I am the Czar of all the Russias!

  Capt. Kirk : Mister Chekov!

  Ensign Pavel Chekov : I sorry, Captain. I never met a god before.

  Capt. Kirk : And you haven't yet.

• Apollo : I would have cherished you, cared for you. I would have loved you as a father loves his children. Did I ask so much?

  Capt. Kirk : We've outgrown you. You asked for something we can no longer give.

• Apollo : Earth. Mother of the most beautiful of woman in the universe. That at least has not changed.

• Apollo : I want from you that which is rightfully mine - your loyalty, your tribute, and your worship.

  Dr. McCoy : May I ask what you offer in exchange for this worship?

  Apollo : Life in paradise.

• Apollo : I've shown you my open heart. See what you've done to me.

  [expands his form, becoming around twenty feet tall] 

  Apollo : Zeus... Hermes... Hera... Aphrodite... you were right... Athena, you were right. The time is passed. There is no room for gods. Forgive me, my old friends. Take me. Take me.

  [his final words echo plaintively as he fades away] 

• Apollo : This is a time to rejoice, not to fear.
