Quotes

 * "In your own way, you are as stubborn as another captain of the Enterprise I once knew." ―Spock to Jean-Luc Picard; Star Trek: The Next Generation, Unification: Part 2
 * "Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion that goes with us on a journey and reminds us to cherish every moment... because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived." ―Jean-Luc Picard following the destruction of the Enterprise-D; Star Trek: Generations
