Picard _Ghost_Ship_ Refusing to make a decision is its own kind of cowardice. -- Capt. Picard _Ghost_Ship_ Heaven is a transporter room. -- Andrew Deelor _The_Children_of_Hamlin_ Never apologize for the truth... -- Capt. Picard _The_Children_of_Hamlin_ So far I have failed to comprehend the appeal of unconsciousness. -- Cmdr. Data _The_Children_of_Hamlin_ Dammit, nobody orders my medical staff around but me! -- Dr. Crusher _The_Children_of_Hamlin_ Gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich. -- Poet _Survivors_ Womankind more joy discovers Making fools, than keeping lovers. -- Poet _Survivors_ Picard: Worf, do you have eleven weapons on you? Worf: Of course not, sir. Picard: Good... How many DO you have on you? Worf: Fourteen. ... Gava: Fourteen? In a uniform far less designed for weapons concealment than that of a Klingon? Very impressive. Worf: Everything about me is very impressive. _Strike_Zone_ ST:TNGNC <Appendix F, page 2> 11/12/92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Picard: This is Captain Picard. You have some business with us? Kreel: Yes, business. You are to surrender your ship to us. Worf: Permission to blast them from space, sir. _Strike_Zone_ Picard: (to Data) You're joking. Data: Joking? Most unlikely, sir. _Strike_Zone_ Picard: Are you implying, Mr. LaForge, that I was once a teenager? LaForge: Never, sir. Picard: I should think not. _Strike_Zone_ Picard: The Starship Enterprise has done quite well for close to a century before Mr. Crusher came along, Doctor. We can certainly muddle through without him for a while longer, if you need him down there. Pulaski: Oh my. Close to a century, you say? May I make note of the fact that this is the fifth model of the good ship Enterprise? And not only that, but it's my understanding that our Mr. Crusher was instrumental, on several occasions, in delaying the need for a sixth? Perhaps if Mr. Crusher had been born a generation earlier, we would still be at NCC-1701 without the 'D' suffix. _Strike_Zone_ One cannot take offense at the truth. -- Lt. Worf _Strike_Zone_ Data: Doctor... it has been a very educational conversation. Pulaski: Why, thank you, Data. I certainly hope you'll be able to store it away somewhere. Data: And I hope you will as well, Doctor. Pulaski: Well, Data, not being a machine, I wouldn't know where. Data: I think, Doctor, you know where you can store it. ... Data: (to Wesley) I certainly hope it was an appropriate thing to say. Wesley: It was an insult! Data: Was it? Wesley: Yes! Data: Are you quite certain? Wesley: Absolutely certain. Data: Good. _Strike_Zone_ ST:TNGNC <Appendix F, page 3> 11/12/92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've read their [human's] philosophies. They don't realize that turning the other cheek simply results in getting bruises on both sides of your face. -- Gava _Strike_Zone_ Compassion can get you a knife in the back. -- Worf _Strike_Zone_ To speak someone's name is to establish a degree of familiarity. It gives you a certain power over someone with whom you talk, either bringing you up to their level, or them down to yours. ... Those you consider your peers you address by given names. But you would not dream of addressing the captain as Jean-Luc, nor would I. -- Ambassador Kobry _Strike_Zone_ Data: Oh. Have I been babbling again? Picard: Like a brook. _Strike_Zone_ Some costs are too high, no matter what the return. -- Cmdr. Riker _Power_Hungry_ Klingonese always sounds like somebody either gargling or getting strangled. -- Lt. Cmdr. LaForge _Power_Hungry_ Riker: You didn't see this, Geordi. LaForge: See what? I'm blind, remember? _Power_Hungry_ ...it was rather hard to hide moody undercurrents from an empath sitting eighteen inches away. -- Howard Weinstein _Power_Hungry_ Sometimes the only way to win a battle is to avoid fighting it. -- Capt. Picard _Power_Hungry_ 'Our actions are our own; their consequences belong to heaven'. -- Saint Francis of Assisi, as quoted by Ambassador Lewis _Masks_ A Klingon is no one's vassal. -- Lt. Worf _Masks_ ST:TNGNC <Appendix F, page 4> 11/12/92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...from the masks of the dead, new masks are born. -- Trim Hands _Masks_ If you're bashing each other with swords all the time, you need a healer. -- Lt. Worf _Masks_ All experiences are pathways to wisdom. Even the distasteful ones. -- Strak _A_Call_to_Darkness_ Had I sneezed, you would not be standing. -- Lt. Worf _A_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place_ Kid, you'll go anywhere, do anything, to get your hands on a female. And you go through 'em like lightning. I think we'll call you Thunderball. -- Jackson Carter, to Riker _A_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place_ There are no atheists in foxholes. -- Counselor Troi, quoting an old earth saying _A_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place_ No one goes from my sickbay unless I tell them to. -- Doctor Crusher _A_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place_ I am only human. -- Cmdr. Data _Metamorphosis_ I don't think women know they go around tempting men just by being female. -- Cmdr. LaForge _Metamorphosis_ To be forced to fight is to have lost the first battle. -- Darryl Adin _Metamorphosis_ Pris: Good night, Data. Data: It is actually morning, ship's time. Pris: Good morning, then, but I'm going to bed anyway. Perhaps we can work on your intuition at a time when I'm not so sleepy. Data: I think I missed something. Guinan: Yes, you did. Data: What? Guinan: Your friend wanted to know more about you. Data: She did not ask me any questions. Guinan: There are certain things a womand does not come right out and ask a man. Data: But what could she not ask *me*? And why? Guinan: When you work out *what*, you'll know why. _Metamorphosis_ ST:TNGNC <Appendix F, page 5> 11/12/92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a beneficial purpose is empty existence. -- Surak, as quoted by Dr. Selar _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_ It is always best to accept what one does not expect. -- Surak, as quoted by Professor Coleridge _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_ A leader has to lead, or otherwise he has no business in politics. -- Harry S Truman, as quoted by Professor Coleridge _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_ Data: What would you suggest we do? Worf: Perhaps I should shoot him. Data: That seems a bit extreme. Worf: That was not my extreme plan. I suspect you would not want to hear my extreme plan. _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_ For of all sad words of tongue of pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been!' -- John Greenleaf Whittier, as quoted by Data _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_ Gregach: You speak your mind at times when you can ill afford to do so. Worf: I speak my mind, and let the times attend to themselves. _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_ I have learned that if I had been allowed to shoot things when I wanted to shoot themin the first place, we would have significantly fewer problems. -- Lt. Worf _The_Eyes_of_the_Beholders_ Don't you know the definition of a diplomat, Captain? One who can tell you to go to Hell -- and make you look forward to the trip. -- Ambassador Navirra _Exiles_ I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker. -- Dr. Crusher _Exiles_ Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment. -- Seneca, as quoted by Guinan _Exiles_ Ozemmik: A leader serves his people. Retthew: No. A leader *leads*. _Exiles_ ...you did what you thought was right. That's all any of us can do. -- Commander Riker _Fortune's_Light_ Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time. -- Goethe, as quoted by Captain Picard _Contamination_ ST:TNGNC <Appendix F, page 6> 11/12/92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anything that color, in that amount, cannot be healthy. -- Saduk of Vulcan, speaking of a banana split _Contamination_ The Borg uni-mind fired off a message to the intruder. It was a simple message: SURRENDER. The reply from the intruder was equally succinct: GO TO HELL. -- Peter David _Vendetta_ I'm a doctor, not a psychic. -- Dr. Crusher _Vendetta_ Turane: As long as we come to an understanding about -- Borg: Understanding is irrelevant. Turane: I have needs. Borg: Needs are irrelevant. Turane: All you've discussed is what you want. What about me? Borg: You are irrelevant. _Vendetta_ Data, the point is that every fight is worth fighting. Even the hopeless ones. -- Cmdr. LaForge _Vendetta_ Picard took some measure of enjoyment in that there were certain universal constants, one of them seemingly that it always took women longer to make themselves presentable than it did men. -- Peter David _Vendetta_ Indeed, some might say that the Klingon (Worf) had a terminal case of itchy trigger finger -- terminal for whomever the phaser was pointed at. -- Peter David _Vendetta_ The galaxy is always whispering. -- Guinan _Vendetta_ There is such a thing as love at first sight. -- Counselor Troi _Vendetta_ ST:TNGNC <Appendix F, page 7> 11/12/92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Borg: Prepare to be assimilated by the Borg. Worf: Prepare to eat phasers. _Vendetta_ Phasers are the universal communicators. -- Lt. Worf _Vendetta_ He (Wesley) wondered if he would ever understand women. The fact that even Riker was occasionally mystified by them did not give him hope. -- Mel Gilden _Boogeymen_ Wesley: What did I do wrong? Picard: You did nothing wrong. No one has ever triumphed over the Kobayashi Maru scenario. Data: Though legend has it that about eighty years ago, certain cadets fought it to a standstill. Picard: Legend. Academy scuttlebutt. _Boogeymen_ Dr. Crusher: Can't you control your ship? Capt. Picard: I'll make it my highest priority. _Boogeymen_ A warrior was not meant to be a bird. -- Worf _Boogeymen_ Crusher: It's raining down there, Captain. Picard: Where? On deck twelve? Ens. Perry: Cats and dogs, sir. Worf: None of us will dissolve. _Boogeymen_ ...an extreme of one emotion usually indicates that an extreme of another emotion is present... ...those we love the most are also the most capable of driving us to complete distraction. -- Captain Jean-Luc Picard _Q-In-Law_ For she shall be mine, and I hers, until all the stars burn away. -- Kerin of the Tizarin _Q-in-Law_ In this whole galaxy, there's somebody for everybody. -- Dr. Crusher _Q-in-Law_ Worf! Still struggling up the evolutionary ladder? -- Q _Q-in-Law_ Permission to bounce uninvited guest, Captain. -- Lt. Worf _Q-in-Law_ ST:TNGNC <Appendix F, page 8> 11/12/92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You'll have to forgive Worf. He just discovered opposable thumbs, and he's feeling overly confident. -- Q _Q-in-Law_ Picard, the list of things you find unamusing is truly staggering. Someday I might actually find something to crack that stoic facade. -- Q _Q-in-Law_ You can't be omnipotent and have two left feet, now can you? -- Commander Riker _Q-in-Law_ All of life is a waking dream, and in death is the final awakening. -- Q _Q-in-Law_ Nobody, dear girl, can lie quite as well as we do to ourselves. -- Q _Q-in-Law_ Love does not conquer all. Only conquest conquers all. -- Q _Q-in-Law_ Lwaxana Troi: You (Q) used me! You made me look like a fool! Q: Nature did that. I simply gave you an audience. _Q-in-Law_ Riker: She's (Lwaxana Troi) really beating the stuffing out of him (Q). What do you think we should do? Worf: Sell tickets. _Q-in-Law_ Picard, get some hair. Your brain has caught cold. -- Q _Q-in-Law_ Never underestimate the power of a good cup of tea. -- Captain Picard _Perchance_to_Dream_ ...I have no desire to gasp, choke, or wildly gesticulate... -- Cmdr. Data _Spartacus_ ST:TNGNC <Appendix F, page 9> 11/12/92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Terrorists are what the big army calls the little army. -- Kurta _Spartacus_ A man isn't truly a man unless he's on his own. -- Spartacus (holodeck simulation) _Spartacus_ Some people want to be right more than they want to solve their problems. -- Guinan _Imbalance_ Wendy Roper: You Human men are very hairy. Why is that? Lt. Riker: Traction. _Imzadi_ Look around you, Riker. There were twice as many people in here when you came in. Half of them left to do some- thing more fun than be near you -- like shoot themselves out the photon torpedo tube. -- Guinan _Imzadi_ Kathy Li: It's been a lot of laughs, cupcake. Lt. Riker: No more than that? Kathy Li: *More* than that? With Will-the-Thrill, I-Never-Met-a-Woman-I-Didn't-Like Riker? _Imzadi_ Right now, Lieutenant, I'd like to address you to Vulcan and send you out with the next batch of communiques. -- Counselor Troi (to Lt. Riker) _Imzadi_ If something attacks you, shoot it. If it doesn't attack you, leave it alone. Everything else is just window dressing. -- Sergeant Tang _Imzadi_ Winning isn't everything, sir... but losing isn't anything. -- Sergeant Tang _Imzadi_ If knowledge is power, then knowledge of the future is the ultimate power. -- Commodore Data _Imzadi_ Cmdr. Riker: For all you knew, *I* could have been one of *them*. When you came here, you might have been walking into a trap. Adm. Riker: I know. That's why I mentioned the lines of poetry to you. I watched your reaction very carefully. That wasn't just to convince you that I'm you. It was also to convince me that you're me. Capt. Picard: I hate to break this up, but I, who am unquestionably me, would be most grateful if either of you cared to tell either of me WHAT IN HELL IS GOING ON? _Imzadi_
