Seven of Nine: "When the risks outweigh the potential gain, exploration is illogical."

Janeway: "Space, literally it means "nothing," a vacuum between stars and planets, but by the same token it means "everything." It's what connects all our worlds, Vulcan, Qo'noS, Talax, Earth. Centuries ago mankind sent its first wave of explorers into that void, astronauts like Mr. Kelly. They paved the way for the first colonies, the first starships for those of us who've made space our home. We commend the spirit and the bravery of Lieutenant John Mark Kelly as we commit his body to space. He will not be forgotten."
   
Seven of Nine: "I did not know this individual. Had I encountered him while I was a Borg I would have found his technology unworthy of assimilation, but we are more alike than one might think. In a sense, his desire to explore was not unlike a quest for perfection. His contribution helped secure Humanity's future and in some ways my own."
   
Chakotay: "Do you remember what you wanted to be before you were assimilated?"
Janeway: "I was assimilated when I was a child."
Chakotay: "I knew I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was six."
Janeway: "...A ballerina."
Chakotay: "Maybe it's not too late."
Janeway: "It was a juvenile fantasy."
Chakotay: "Those are the ones that stick with you."
   
Seven of Nine: "The Yankees. In six games."
