Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 Episode 15: "Will You Take My Hand?" Quotes
You instigate valiantly and then second-guess.
Emperor Georgiou
We have to be torch-bearers, casting the light so that we may see our path to lasting peace.
Burnham
The only way to defeat fear is to tell it 'No'. No, we will not take shortcuts on the path to righteousness. No, we will not break the rules that protect us from our basest instincts. No, we will not allow desperation to destroy moral authority.
Burnham
A year ago, I stood alone. I believed that our survival was more important than our principles. I was wrong. Do we need a mutiny today to prove who we are?
Burnham
And what's so bad about desperation?
Emperor Georgiou
Emperor Georgiou: What's wrong? Are you scared, Number One? Where I'm from, there's a saying,'Scared Kelpian makes for tough Kelpian.' Have you gotten tough since we served together on the Shenzhou, Mr. Saru?
Saru: Affirmative, Captain. Very tough. So much so that many find me simply unpalatable.
Bryce: Discovery is running dark, Captain.
Emperor Georgiou: My favorite way to run.
On the eve of battle, on a cold and windless night, an old general turned to a young soldier. 'Tomorrow,' said the master,'you will know Fear.' The young soldier who had not yet experienced the agony of war looked at the general with quizzical eyes. 'How will I know Fear if I do not know what it looks like?' The general replied,'You will know Fear because it speaks very fast and it speaks very loud...' 'If that is how Fear acts, recognizing it is easy.' But as the young soldier considered the general's advice, she asked the question facing us now,'Once I know Fear, how do I defeat it?'
