Saru quotes from Star Trek: Discovery

Saru

It is well known that my species has the ability to sense the coming of death. I do not sense it today. I may not have all the answers; however, I do know that I am surrounded by a team I trust. The finest a captain could ever hope to command. Lorca abused our idealism. And make no mistake, Discovery is no longer Lorca's. She is ours. And today will be her maiden voyage. We have a duty to perform, and we will not accept a no-win scenario. You have your orders. On your way.

Saru

We all come from somewhere. We carry that place with us wherever we go. That never leaves our hearts. Not entirely. But none of us can predict where our voyage will lead. We may suffer losses along the way, but we can hope to learn and grow from those experiences… and from those who accompany us on our journey.

Saru

Perhaps, in feeling less like you were, you are more like who you were meant to become.

Saru

What is a Kelpien without fear? I am losing the very thing that defines me. I am stumbling in the dark, and yet I cannot help but feel that, somewhere within the unknown, there is purpose... and that we are being guided toward it.

Saru

The Starfleet Manual offers no regulatory guidelines for interactions between humans with Klingons grafted to their bones and a ship’s doctor returned from the dead.

Philippa Georgiou

What's wrong? Are you scared, number one? Where I'm from, there's a saying: 'Scared Kelpien makes for tough Kelpien.' Have you gotten tough since we served together on the Shenzhou, Mr. Saru?

Saru

Affirmative, captain. Very tough. So much so that many find me simply unpalatable.

I see where the Federation puts its pennies.

Christopher Pike

Do not covet thy neighbor's starship, commander. Besides, we've got the new uniforms.

Saru

And lovely uniforms they are, Captain.

Michael Burnham

Very...colorful.

Saru

Questions or concerns before we depart, captain?

Christopher Pike

If you're telling me this ship can skip across the cosmos on a highway made of mushrooms, I kind of have to go on faith.
