"Most of us who are left, Doctor, are insane. We have to be in order to survive and emerge from our isolation. It’s the only way we can live with the pain of what we did. Or didn’t. Each of us accepts the amount of responsibility we are capable of bearing. Some accept nothing, and these people are quickly swallowed by their isolation, their insanity transformed into a rationalized evil. A smaller group accepts total responsibility, and their insanity is an unbearable burden that cripples and eventually grinds them down. The rest of us carry what we can and leave the rest. For myself, Doctor, when a corpse is too heavy to bury I try to remember to ask someone to help me."

- from Garak's letter in Andrew Robinson's "A Stitch in Time"

Dal: "Except the Protostar's auto-controls are fried. Someone will have to stay back to detonate it. I am the Captain of this ship"

Gwyn: "No, Dal"

Dal: "Admiral Janeway is true to her word. She'll help you get into Starfleet, but she can't help me"

Hologram Janeway: "Or you let the hologram do it. When you were trapped in the Holodeck, you did grant me your command codes"

Rok: "But you're not just a hologram to us. You've got memories, a personality--you're our friend"

LaForge: `And that's how the warp drive funct- OOP!`
Wesley: `Geordi! Your visor!`
LaForge: `Oh, God, where is it?`
Wesley: `You know, I always wondered what it`d be like to see through this thing.`
LaForge: `Wesley, no!`
Captain Picard: `What`s going on here?`
😱😱😱😂😂😂🖖

Klingon Captain: "And why should I help?"

Gwyn: "Because in the infinite of space, everyone needs to know there is a place out there willing to accept us all, no matter how different we think we are. Without Starfleet, the Federation crumbles. And that dream dies with it. If they've every helped you as they've helped us, then hear my words. Allies, civilians, outsiders, anyone, Starfleet needs you now...or it will not survive"

There are so many great emotional moments in this series. This is another of them.

Brenari Ensign: "You're wrong, Admiral. I do know you. Back when you commanded Voyager, you lied to the Devore people when they were searching for illegal refugees onboard"

Admiral Janeway: "Yes. The refugees were innocent and unarmed. That was a long time ago"

Brenari Ensign: "Not to me. I know you don't recognize me. I was much smaller then. But I was one of those Brenari refugees you helped escape through the wormhole. I'm alive because of you"

Vice Admiral Janeway: "I'm so glad to have met you. Again"
