Strand: This won’t end well, Madison. You think it’ll just be this one thing. But then you realize you can’t stop. I learned it the hard way. At the Tower. There was always just one more thing that I needed to do to keep it safe, and before I knew it, I was the thing people needed to be protected from.

S8: E11 “Fighting Like You”

PICARD: Whenever I look at you now, I won't see a powerful Cardassian warrior. I will see a six year old boy who is powerless to protect himself.

MADRED: Be quiet.

PICARD: In spite of all you've done to me, I find you a pitiable man.

Chain of Command, S6 EP11

PICARD: What I didn't put in the report was that at the end he gave me a choice between a life of comfort or more torture. All I had to do was to say that I could see five lights, when in fact, there were only four.

TROI: You didn't say it?

PICARD: No, no, but I was going to. I would have told him anything. Anything at all. But more than that, I believed that I could see five lights.

“Don‘t Matter who did what to whom at this point. Fact is, we went to war, and now ther ain’t no going back… once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight.” - Slim Charles

Master Sol: What do you want?

Qimir: Freedom. The freedom to wield my power the way I like without having to answer to Jedi like you.

Master Sol: The Jedi do not attack the unarmed.

Qimir: [Sigh] Rules, Rules, Rules. If you never follow them, you never have to break them.

Mom: Sometimes I used to say to myself, what [your father did], leaving us, leaving you, wasn’t that bad, wasn’t his fault. But, it was. But it was his fault. It was bad. He hurt me. He hurt you… when I saw that look in your eye with him, I was worried he was gonna hurt us again.

Wade: I know you and dad have a complicated relationship. That’s your relationship. Dad and I are still figuring ours out. I get it if you don’t want him in your life but I may want him in mine. You can’t take that from me.

Mom: Just be careful. Your father is great at convincing people to love him and that’s usually when he decides to leave. Good luck out there.

Norm: “You’re a coward. You know that, Chet.”

Chet: “We all are, Norm. That’s why we live in a vault.”
