“To the pain,” means the first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankles, then your hands at the wrists, next your nose… The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by the right . . . Your ears you keep, and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish, every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out: “Dear God, what is that thing?” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what “to the pain” means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever. ---

You know that pain and guilt can’t be taken away with a wave of a magic wand. They’re the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don’t want my pain taken away! I need my pain! ---

Klingons cannot be trusted. Captain, you said so yourself. They killed your son. Did you not _wish_ Gorkon dead? “Let them die”, you said. Did I misinterpret you? And you were right. They conspired with us to kill their own chancellor. How trustworthy can they _be?_ ---

Yeah… Ladies do ask for attention. In my experience, they pretend to give it, but it’s generally a smokescreen for demanding it back with interest ---

I don’t care how you look. I don’t care what car you drive. I don’t care what your last bank statement says.
