People think time is fragile. Precious. Beautiful. Sand in an hourglass and all that. But it's not. Time is savage. It always wins.

Gabrielle Burnham

Time is a living thing. It has gravity and will and it's pulling the A.I. closer.

Gabrielle Burnham

Einstein couldn't have been more right. Time's motion depends on the observer, on the action. The people I was able to move from Earth to Terralysium as they call my planet are thriving. They're survival means that time is fluid. The future can be changed. Maybe the past as well.

Gabrielle Burnham

Spock

What I feel is that failure is liberating and, for the first time, I enjoy expressing emotion!

Spock

You avoid reality because it is easier for you to shoulder burden than to face unimaginable grief.

Spock

Spock: It is arrogant of you to assert that my present manner of thinking requires fixing at all.
Burnham: It is arrogant of you to assert it doesn't

Connelly: Every time we tried to scan, the computer went haywire.
