If there is one constant in this whole universe . . .
it's death. Afterwards, I soon began to realize it didn't
really matter. We're all going to die some time; it's
just a question of how and when.
-----
Dr. Tolian Soran:
It's like a predator. It's stalking you. Oh, you can try
to out run it with doctors, medicines, new technologies.
But, in the end, time is going to hunt you down . . .
and make the kill.
-----
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard:
What we leave behind is not as important as how we've
lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal.
Cmdr. William T. Riker:
Speak for yourself, sir. I plan to live forever.
-----
Capt. Montgomery "Scotty" Scott:
Finding retirement a little lonely, are we?
Capt. James T. Kirk:
You know, I'm glad you're an engineer. With tact like
that, you'd make a lousy psychiatrist.
-----
Capt. James T. Kirk:
You say history considers me dead. Who am I to argue with
history?
-----
Dr. Tolian Soran:
"Normal" is what everyone else is, and you are not.
-----
Capt. James T. Kirk:
I take it the odds are against us and the situation's
grim.
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard:
You could say that.
Capt. James T. Kirk:
You know, if Spock were here, he'd say that I was an irrational,
illogical human being for taking on a mission like that.
Sounds like fun.
-----
Dr. Tolian Soran:
They say, "Time is the fire in which we burn."
-----
Cmdr. Pavel Chekov:
I was never that young.
Capt. James T. Kirk:
No, you were younger.
-----
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard:
Sometimes it takes courage to try, Data. And, courage
can be an emotion, too.
-----
Capt. James T. Kirk:
I don't need to be lectured by you. I was out saving the
galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers.
