Su'Kal: There used to be lots of holos that talked about 'outside'. But the outside never came inside. Probably the outside is dead by now.
Burnham: Well, I was also programmed to help you understand what is outside.
Su'Kal: I'm sorry to have to tell you you are obsolete.

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.

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.

She had no tact and, god, I loved that about her.

Reno

She was always honest. Punishingly so. Her barbs, however piercing, were utterly glorious.

Saru

She was a tormentor. But a truth-teller. She was a mirror I never knew I needed. Like a mother almost. Like a sister almost. I loved her. And hated her. Sometimes both at the same time. More than anything, she was my friend. She was the most unexpected of gifts and I will miss the hell out of her.

Burnham

Georgiou was the wall I crashed into over and over and over again.

Burnham

To Philippa Georgiou, the most stubborn patient I've ever had. Considering what some of you have put me through, that's saying a lot.

Culber

To Philippa Georgiou. She was tough. She was a force to be reckoned with. And she pretty much redefined the word 'badass'.

Vance: If you would like to remain on Discovery, you will need to follow Starfleet protocols.
Book: With all due respect, Ossyra has no protocols. Having someone like me around, who is not part of Starfleet, could be a good thing.

Nothing intimidated her. Not in any universe.

Owosekun

I said you sentenced me to death when you brought me to this universe. In truth, the greater part of me was already dead. You gave me new life.

Georgiou

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.
