• Lieutenant Tuvok : [allegorizing a potential alliance with the Kazon]  This flower is a rare hybrid. As far as I know, it exists nowhere else in the galaxy. I created it by grafting a cutting from a South American orchid onto a Vulcan favinit plant. I doubted the graft would take; and indeed, the plant was sickly at first. However, after a few weeks, both plants adapted to their new condition, and, in fact, became stronger than either had been alone.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : [on banding together with the Kazon]  How can I consider it? I can't just walk away from the precepts Starfleet has laid out for us. You don't deal with outlaws. You don't involve yourself in the political machinations of other cultures. It goes against everything I believe, everything I've trained for, everything experience has taught me.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : Quite right.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Do I hear a 'however' coming?

  Lieutenant Tuvok : You are perceptive, Captain.

• Lieutenant Tuvok : Even temporary stability can bring an appreciation for peace.
