That was a difficult admission. Another man would have been humiliated to say those words. Another man would have rather died than ask for help.
I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times. I would rather die in agony, than accept assistance from you!
…Jim, do you really believe he’s Abraham Lincoln?
Captain, what do they want from us?
You have to understand: drugs can make you feel good. They make you feel on top of the world. You’re happy. Sure of yourself. In control…
That is a most illogical attitude.
It’s the whole experience. First of all, you have to spoon the fudge around the rim, leaving only ice cream in the middle. Then, you gently spoon the ice cream around the sides, like you’re sculpting it. Relish every bite. Make every one an event. And then, with the last spoonful, close your eyes.

Some would call it good leadership.
