Raining all day today, I just had the long walk into work and “Trust me, there’s no word for ‘crisp’ on Ferenginar.” comes into my head. What is one of your favorites?

      Yeah this quote has gotten me through some bad times, as silly as that might seem.

        Not silly at all. It’s a great quote and an important lesson for life

      I love this quote and think it’s hilarious that it was said in response to Data moping about losing a video game.

    Garak: “Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which, no doubt, did serious damage to their egos.”

    Two, are they’re not surprisingly both from Garak:

    Garak: The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination.


    Odo: You’d shoot a man in the back?

    Garak: Well, it’s the safest way, isn’t it?

      Garak has so many great quotes:

      Garak: Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.


      Garak: I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don’t trust coincidences.


      Garak: Paranoid is what they call people who imagine threats against their life. I have threats against my life.

        ZIYAL: Why don’t you just let Garak design a dress on his own? You know whatever he comes up with will be beautiful.

        GARAK: My dear, I find your blind adoration both flattering and disturbing, but she does have a point.

    The scene where Quark compares the federation to root beer with Garak.

    Q: “I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this. It’s called root beer. What do you think?”

    G: “Oh! It’s vile!

    Q: “I know. It’s so bubbly, and cloying, and happy.”

    G: “Like the Federation…”

    Q: “But you know what’s really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it. Like the Federation…”

    G: “Insidious!

    With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

    Lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence you have to practice constantly.

    “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra! Temba, his arms wide. Shaka, when the walls fell.”

    Those lines for some reason resonate with me. That episode highlighted a divide I didn’t know existed between myself and others.

    I can’t be any more clear about what I’m saying to you. Please understand so we can work on this problem together!

    “… and no one ever offered him a command. He learned to play it safe, and he never, ever, got noticed by anyone”

    This line has been the basis of several career changing events for me, and overall it’s worked out pretty well

    One I quote often:

    “What do I do?”

    “FIND HIM AND KILL HIM”
