Memorable quotes[]

"You have to expect the unexpected in my field. Because, before the right answer, we often find the wrong one. But the wrong one can lead us to entirely new discoveries.

That's why, it's important we don't hang our heads when we make a mistake. Instead, we should wear them like a badge of honor." - Rok-Tahk

"I'll chart a course for Voyager. Are you ready to see the admiral?"
"I am now. Crew, let's set a course for home."
