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.
Bashir: “They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle.”
Garak: “Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which, no doubt, did serious damage to their egos.”
This is a good choice!
Two, are they’re not surprisingly both from Garak:
Garak: The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination.
Odo: You’d shoot a man in the back?
Garak: Well, it’s the safest way, isn’t it?
Garak has so many great quotes:
Garak: Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Garak: I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don’t trust coincidences.
Garak: Paranoid is what they call people who imagine threats against their life. I have threats against my life.
ZIYAL: Why don’t you just let Garak design a dress on his own? You know whatever he comes up with will be beautiful.
GARAK: My dear, I find your blind adoration both flattering and disturbing, but she does have a point.
Garak wound up being one of my favorite characters!!
The scene where Quark compares the federation to root beer with Garak.
Q: “I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this. It’s called root beer. What do you think?”
G: “Oh! It’s vile!”
Q: “I know. It’s so bubbly, and cloying, and happy.”
G: “Like the Federation…”
Q: “But you know what’s really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it. Like the Federation…”
G: “Insidious!”
I think you have the last lines wrong
It’s insidious!
…just like the Federation
Picard - ‘You can test that assumption at your convenience’ most political way to say f’ around and find out.
Starfleet was founded to seek out new life – well, there it sits! …waiting.
With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
“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
Lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence you have to practice constantly.
“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!
Sokath, his eyes uncovered!
Ode to Spot is pretty classic.
“… 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”
There’s coffee in that nebula!
“I am… fully functional.”
This night would be better spent preparing for the next life instead of rehashing the mistakes of this one.
