Love always ends in grief, but we can't let the pain do this to us.

Book

We've lost so many, you and me. But we can't do harm in their names or memories. We have to honor them, all of them, because they were beloved, beautiful.

Book

I have come to believe the limits that I place upon myself do not protect me so much as dull the brightness of my days.

Saru

It's painful, the hole they leave behind.

Book

Tell them each of us is an individual one. We are also one as a whole. Our appearances and experiences differ yet we all seek happiness, freedom, security, equality. We want that for our children, just as you do for yours. There is so much at unites us.

Hiding behind a wall may calm your fears, but it won't keep you safe. The void will eventually reach you. We all live in the same space. This is all there is.

People are scared. They're losing everything. They're going to be looking to the Federation for guidance, for safety, for hope. We get to give that to them.

Tilly

Book: There's gotta be a way out of this.
Reno: If I had some hot 'n' sour soup... wouldn't help us. I'm just hungry. The upside is, when we hit the hyperfield, we'll be vaporized immediately.
Book: Where's the upside in that?
Reno: We'll die fast. I hate pain.

Stamets: Good news is I can get us out and we should survive.
Rillak: Should?
Stamets: Best I can do these days.

United Earth is my home. Its citizens are my family. Spent the last twenty years fighting to protect both. That is where my decision to help Booker and Tarka came from. Whether or not you would've made the same choice, you must understand it.

Ndoye

Tilly

Burnham: I am not asking for leniency.
Rillak: I know, but reasons do matter. It's the only way justice can ever be just.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Quotes

In truth, we are on an island together. We must ask ourselves, 'Do we honor our interconnection? Or do we curl inward, like a leaf folds from its tree?'

Saru

Book: Why would you say 'carnivore' to the butterfly people?
Burnham: They are NOT butterfly people. Why do you even have a pet? Why don't you just have a hologram goldfish?
Book: I had one. Grudge ate it.
Burnham: Who eats a hologram?
