selenakDay 29 - Favorite Trek Quote
I don't quite have one favourite, but here are a few favourites:
No being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another. (Picard in The Schizoid Man, written by Richard Manning and Hans Beimler
No, I'm not dead. Because I refuse to believe the afterlife is run by you. The universe is not that badly designed. (Picard to Q, re: the later's claim to be God, in Tapestry)
And also Garak's take on The Boy Who Cried Wolf:
Dr. Julian Bashir: It's a children's story, about a young shepherd boy who gets lonely while tending his flock. So he cries out to the villagers that a wolf is attacking the sheep. The people come running, but of course there's no wolf. He claims that it's run away and the villagers praise him for his vigilance.
Elim Garak: Clever lad. Charming story.
Dr. Julian Bashir: I'm not finished. The next day, the boy does it again, and the next too. And on the fourth day a wolf really comes. The boy cries out at the top of his lungs, but the villagers ignore him, and the boy, and his flock, are gobbled up.
Elim Garak: Well, that's a little graphic for children, wouldn't you say?
Dr. Julian Bashir: But the point is, if you lie all the time, nobody's going to believe you, even when you're telling the truth.
Elim Garak: Are you sure that's the point, Doctor?
Dr. Julian Bashir: Of course. What else could it be?
Elim Garak: That you should never tell the same lie twice.
...and of course the Exchange between Garak and Quark quoted in this Icon.
