Star Trek: Discovery
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Discovery Quotes
Saru: Zora is undergoing changes, Doctor, but I believe she means well.
Kovich: We always mean well to ourselves, Captain. Problem is what that means for others.
Our experiences shape us. That's what makes this so difficult. Before we head down a path that could lead to destruction, on both sides, we need to reach first for understanding. For generations, the Federation has sought out new life, new civilizations, not to destroy but to connect. Even in the face of uncertainty. And we are not all Federation members, but those ideals can still guide us, especially now. We cannot let fear define us in this moment. We're all in this together. Wherever we come from, whatever our experiences, and the only way we get through this. We need to decide who do we want to be. Do we lash out blindly, no matter the risk? Or do we proceed thoughtfully, work toward the future we want to live in? I believe that's who we are. We wouldn't be here otherwise.

Burnham: One of these days, I'm going to win her over. Just you wait.
Book: You're making progress. She's not hissing anymore.
Burnham: By progress, you mean I've earned her utter indifference.
Book: Just think, aloof disdain is next.
Zora: Perhaps 'artificial intelligence' fails to fully define me.
Kovich: How would you define yourself?
Zora: I am the sum of the Sphere's life and the entirety of Discovery's systems, logs, missions, and history. I am also more than the sum of those parts.
We are both justified in our anger. Allowing it to be our focus, however, only prevents us from achieving those things which serve the greater good. It is a struggle, yes, but a worthy one.
Saru
Burnham: Commander Stamets, if you're sitting on any extra power, we're gonna need it.
Stamets: Uh, sure. I think I've got some tucked away under my chair.
Burnham: I knew you would.
I'm training to be a Guardian. That's all about mixing the scientific and spiritual.
Gray
Zora: All crew report to stations.
Adira: Oh, okay. Don't move any of the pieces until I get back.
Gray: That ruins my plan to cheat.
Greater focus creates greater awareness.
Saru
It can be very uncomfortable to accept the truth that some things are beyond our control. But we have to. Otherwise, we run into the same walls over and over and over again. Or we freeze up. Either way, we don't move forward.
Burnham
I've been thinking a lot about family, how the past is so much of the present. How even when someone is gone, we remain connected to them. Our memories, our feelings, it's like they're still here, with us. In some way.
Burnham
Tarka: Great science was never accomplished with caution.
Reno: I’m not sure that’s actually true.
