We need more of these, Kirk. Many more - said by the alien in a Star Trek Original Series episode, used whenever you have a few of something you just realized you liked.

Och, I was savin' ye - Scotty, said whenever you are about to finish something you thought you were going to have more of.

Me poor wee bairns! Pronounced "bearings" - another Scotty line, said whenever there is engine trouble. The pronunciation dates back to someone who was a strong Trek fan not knowing the word Bairn because he had always misheard this one line, in a way that made more sense.

Many other lines from Old Trek would not count as literature.

Also, which came first, the banjo quote above or the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers' Freewheelin Franklin saying Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope? Also not literature.
