“I imagined if we scratched deep enough, we’d find a scientific basis for most religious doctrines.” - Kathryn Janeway
“You’ll find that more happens on the bridge of a starship than just carrying out orders and observing regulations. There’s a sense of loyalty to the men and women you serve with… a sense of family.” - Hikaru Sulu
