Quotes 

• Alcia : My people believe that physical matter's only an illusion. The body is not the true self, only a representation.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : One of our greatest philosophers, Plato, wrote that what we see around us are only poor shadows of ideal objects which exist on a higher plane.

  Alcia : That is similar to our teachings. Our connection to what you call a "higher plane" is more important than our attachment to this brief existence, however real it may seem.

• Captain Kathryn Janeway : This is First Prelate Alcia of Drayan II.

  The Doctor : It's an honor to meet you. We don't often receive such distinguished guests here - unless there's been some sort of accident.

• [Janeway and Paris are going through the shuttle preflight sequence] 

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : I think we've got all the basics. Computer, initiate cold-launch sequence.

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : Or we could just skip preflight altogether.

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Definitely not recommended, but sometimes necessary.

  Lieutenant Tom Paris : I'll remember that.

• Alcia : Do your people consider advanced technology to be their highest achievement?

  Captain Kathryn Janeway : Not as an end in itself. The purpose of all this is to help us gain knowledge about the universe, and the people in it.
