I think it was Q who said, "Ah, Mr. Worf. Eat a good book lately?"

But that was just Q's ad hominem response to an even better exchange: Q: What must I do to convince you people (that he is mortal and without powers) Worf: die.
Sorry I know you said "not epic" but most things Worf says are epic.
Riker's glance back at Worf when he says that is great. I would describe it as "surprised but thinks it's a good point".
It's Dorn's delivery. He and Stewart could make any of their lines sound epic, no matter how cheesy the episode was
That episode is a treasure trove. "I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent."
Definitely a t-shirt ready quote.
“Death to the opposition!”
Hi Christopher, I'm Nero.
I like this moment. No villainous riffing. No sneering. No glaring. Just a casual greeting. So surreal.
"On Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial begins."
"Good tea. Nice house." - the endlessly quotable Lt. Worf
I am Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergei, House of Rozhenko, Bane to the Duras Family, slayer of Gowron. I have made some chamomile tea. Do you take sugar?
You broke your little ships.

After an impassioned and (IMO) epic bit of dialogue from Picard, this little disarming line hits me so hard. Just wanna give him a hug.
Yes! I think taken on its own, it comes across as a not-epic quote. But, as the finish to a tremendous demonstration by two amazingly talented actors, it's so emotionally hard-hitting.
The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done.
Love that bit, I get caught up in the passion of Picard’s delivery every time.
WORF: "What is a 'Q'?"
YAR: "It's a letter of the alphabet as far as I know"
“You broke your little ships.”
I love how this mocks his display of anger and also the fact that he has little ships to begin with. There’s Picard being all ragey and dramatic and in 5 words she turns him into a little boy.
I got to use "There be whales here!" in the context of being on a whale watching tour, and only getting to see one as we were heading back, having given up seeing any.
It might be my life's greatest achievement.
"Ugly bags of mostly water", S1E18 TNG, Home Soil
"Computer! Taffy, honey, shrimp, soda, corn, steak, chicken nugget, crispy lemon rock candy, chili, gravy, chocolate sundae! Hot!"
Doing what it takes to save Tendi!
Banana, hot. Banana, hot. Banana, hot.
I would not presume to debate you.
That is wise.

:) thats funny when you know that worf killed the clone before him and that Vorta can remember that because of genetic memory something XD

"Get the cheese to sickbay."
“Double dumbass on you!”
Right up there with:
“No ma’am. No dipshit.”
"Time is the fire in which we burn"
"the soulless agents of orthodoxy!"
*minions
I know you said not epic but I can't resist adding "FLY HER APART THEN!" Epic bit also touching, showing how far Sulu would go for his friends.
Less epic but certainly one of my favourites: a few minutes after Captain Sulu says "Fly her apart, then!", Bones saying "I'd give real money if he'd shut up." as Chang recites miscellaneous Shakespeare quotes.

I think it's a plan. I think it's a very good plan. When did you get so devious?
Julian Bashir
A truly great line from "The Ultimate Computer"
M4 to Daystrom: "I am great. You are great. We are both great."
The final line in tng s4e2 "family".
Marie: "It's getting late." Robert Picard: "Yes, but let him dream."
Kirk: All hands, this is the captain. We're going to enter the body of the organism... rather abruptly, I would think.
Shatner's delivery of "rather abruptly, I would think" always makes me laugh.
When is this said, that's hilarious!
Immunity Syndrome. The one with the giant space amoeba.
"I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent." -Q
