Your lack of vision continues to disappoint me.

Lorca

Every living being is safer and happier knowing their place.

Lorca

The Federation is a social experiment, doomed to failure. Childish idealism. Every species, every choice, every opinion is not equal no matter how much they want it to be. The strong and the capable will always rise.

Lorca

Do not accept a no-win scenario.

Tilly

I am a defeated emperor. They have seen my neck. I have no future now. But I will die on my feet as befitting my station.

Emperor Georgiou

The living core of the mycelial network. It's poetic justice, don't you think? Scientist destroyed by his own creation. Just kidding. I hate poetry.

Lorca

Lorca: Believe in Destiny now, Mr. Stamets?
Mirror-Stamets: That's rhetorical, right?

Your choices have determined your fate.

Emperor Georgiou

Owosekun: Sensors have detected mass casualties on decks one through seventeen!
Emperor Georgiou: He's come back from the grave to stage a revolution and that's the best he's got?

To me, it was Physics acting as the Hand of Destiny. My Destiny.

Lorca

One year, two hundred and twelve days of torture. Of agony, my friends. My followers. But I have returned to give meaning to your suffering. Today is the day we reclaim our empire.

Lorca

Equality. Freedom. Cooperation.... delusions that Terrans shed millenia ago. Destructive ideals that fuel rebellions and I will not let you infect us again.

Emperor Georgiou
