Star Trek as a whole hits hard like this all the time but TNG/Picard just hits so good…….too good.
The one in the picture is one of my two favorite quotes, the other:
it is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are, Lal. It does not matter that we will never reach our ultimate goal. The effort yields its own rewards.
Saavik: On the test, sir. Will you tell me what you did? I would really like to know.
McCoy: Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Starfleet cadet who ever beat the no-win scenario.
Saavik: How?
Kirk: I reprogrammed the simulation so it was possible to rescue the ship.
Saavik: What?
David Marcus: He cheated.
Kirk: I changed the conditions of the test. I got a commendation for original thinking. I don't like to lose.
Saavik: Then you never faced that situation. Faced death.
Kirk: I don't believe in the no-win scenario.
The opposite must be true then: I've made only the wrong choices and I somehow won.
Wait that's what Kirk did on the test... He cheated and got an accommodation. Even the new movies, he kept making the wrong choices and became captain of the enterprise.
