Raining all day today, I just had the long walk into work and “Trust me, there’s no word for ‘crisp’ on Ferenginar.” comes into my head. What is one of your favorites?
“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness… that is life.”
Yeah this quote has gotten me through some bad times, as silly as that might seem.
Not silly at all. It’s a great quote and an important lesson for life
I pulled that out at work, and totally forgot it was star trek
I love this quote and think it’s hilarious that it was said in response to Data moping about losing a video game.
With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
Fuckin A right, buddy!
Lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence you have to practice constantly.
“I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend.” – The Romulan commander in Balance of Terror
“In every revolution, there’s one man with a vision.” – Kirk in Mirror, Mirror
“Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra! Temba, his arms wide. Shaka, when the walls fell.”
Those lines for some reason resonate with me. That episode highlighted a divide I didn’t know existed between myself and others.
I can’t be any more clear about what I’m saying to you. Please understand so we can work on this problem together!
“… and no one ever offered him a command. He learned to play it safe, and he never, ever, got noticed by anyone”
This line has been the basis of several career changing events for me, and overall it’s worked out pretty well
One I quote often:
“What do I do?”
“FIND HIM AND KILL HIM”
“I am… fully functional.”
Ode to Spot is pretty classic.
This night would be better spent preparing for the next life instead of rehashing the mistakes of this one.

Riker: “Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you.*”
I remember it with ‘sometimes’ instread of ‘some days’ and somehow it deeply resonates with me.
Shut up already, Morn.

Lwaxana: Life’s true gift is the capacity to enjoy enjoyment
Mudd: “Human beings do not survive on bread alone … but on the nourishments of liberty. For what indeed is a man without freedom … naught but a mechanism, trapped in the cogwheels of eternity.”
Capt. Picard:
The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based. And if you can’t find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don’t deserve to wear that uniform!
