To think the Federation would hoard their technology, but you would free us all of the yoke of dilithium. The galaxy is a much better place with you in it, Osyraa.

Invigilator Orelio

Book: Go save the day, Michael.
Burnham: This is the wrong moment to tell you that I love you for the first time.
Book: Not quite the first. You talk in your sleep.

Osyraa: You're staring at the past. I just drew you a real map to the future.
Vance: The past is the only light with which we can see the future.

The Burn has left us with a legacy of fear, of isolation. A scarcity that still clouds our moral clarity, a clarity that I fight for on a daily basis. And I ask my people to die for!

Vance

Osyraa: Get up.
Tilly: No, you're going to have to kill me first.
Osyraa: And get blood all over the chair? Please.

Burnham: Stay back.
Book: You're dangerously radioactive. Big deal.

A certain nineteenth-century Earth neurologist would say that you've just proven the idea of projection. You tell me I'm a fraud because, deep down inside, you kind of feel like a fraud. It's interesting. It's not just a human defense mechanism, it's GALACTIC.

Tilly

So long as he will not face [the monster], he will remain in this place.

Elder

Saru: What is he protecting himself from?
Elder: The monster from the story. It rises from the sea, covered in kelp, to remind the children of Kaminar that to be truly free...
Saru: ...they must face their deepest fear.

Saru: Su'Kal. That is his name.
Culber: Does it have any significance?
Saru: Well, it does not directly translate but it means something like 'beloved gift'. It's a tradition in Kelpian families that after you've suffered a great tragedy, the next child born in your family is named 'Su'Kal'. The child symbolizes the end of suffering.

Well it's like my Granna Adela always used to say,'Until you've flown a starship into a flaming nebula and gotten everyone out alive, you haven't lived.' She didn't actually say that.

Tilly

I need to go for me. I was so lost when I came back. And, ever since we came to this future, I found a purpose I didn't even know I was looking for.

Culber

Star Trek: Discovery Quotes

I am neither one for following orders nor giving them. The solar winds are my mistress and I follow her wherever she beckons.

Mudd

Burnham: Words aren't enough, are they? Nine hundred and thirty years.
Saru: I trust that what matters most will have endured.
