Quotes [edit]

Someone one time told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journeying and reminds u.s.a. to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is non as important as how nosotros've lived.

That is what it is to exist human. To make yourself more than y'all are.

There tin can be no justice and so long as laws are absolute. Even life itself is an exercise in exceptions.

Seize the time... Alive now! Make now always the almost precious fourth dimension. Now will never come once again.

Things are only impossible until they're not!

Shall I tell you lot what truthful evil is? Information technology is to submit to you. Information technology is when we surrender our freedom, our dignity instead of defying you.

Communication is a matter of patience, imagination.

There is a way out of every box, a solution to every puzzle; information technology'due south simply a matter of finding it.

The Prime number Directive is not just a set up of rules; it is a philosophy ... and a very correct 1. History has proven over again and again that whenever flesh interferes with a less developed civilization, no thing how well intentioned that interference may be, the results are invariably disastrous.

We are what nosotros are, and nosotros're doing the best we can. It is not for you to fix the standards by which we should exist judged!

I prefer to await on the time to come as something which is not written in rock.

The past is written, but the futurity is left for us to write, and we accept powerful tools: openness, optimism, and the spirit of curiosity.

And that's fine on the bridge of your starship, helm, but at present you lot're dealing with a teenager, more than or less. That can be an extremely humbling experience.

Quotes about Picard [edit]

The bridge of the Enterprise, under the moderate and controlled command of Captain Picard, is a locus of "aware understanding." ~ Rosemarie Garland Thomson

Alphabetized by author

• Jean-Luc Picard taught me how to speak. I'g pretty sure that I already knew how to say words by the fourth dimension that I was watching ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' with my parents, but Patrick Stewart'southward captain is how I call back learning that words and communication are noble and important. That y'all can exist strong without imposing yourself physically on others. That making an try to unite yourself with other people is powerful as well equally merely desirable.

• Captain Picard is the hero we need correct at present. He exemplifies in some ways fifty-fifty more then James Kirk—and I'm not gonna get into the Kirk vs Picard argument considering I love Captain Kirk, he was my first captain—but Picard is fifty-fifty more than of an exemplar of everything that is all-time almost Star Trek'south vision for the future.

• When I was in heart school and watching "Star Trek" I imagined nosotros were moving closer toward the evidence'south version of the futurity: egalitarian, autonomous, creative. Now when I watch the prove, I vacillate betwixt hope and escapism. I want to believe that "Star Trek" is predictive of how things will turn out for humanity. I desire us to wander the universe in brightly colored uniforms, listening to operas sung by sentient robots. I hope we will discover our way to peace. But if that's non what the future holds, if information technology's more than state of war and injustice and greed that we're headed for, so all I want is to watch Captain Picard agree court on the bridge ane more time.

• Picard and his coiffure were all human carbon copies of Spock—even-keeled, rational, and almost impossibly upstanding. (Spock himself says so of Picard in "Unification," the one "Next Generation" episode in which he appears.) That left little room for identification. You could aspire to be more than like Picard, the very model of pity and civilisation, simply you could never truly understand his moral universe. He was nothing similar the states xx-get-go-century humans. He was too alien.
