Yvette Picard in “Unfinished Business”

Stars. Yes, yes. Did you know that space is so vast, so infinite, it takes billions of years for that tiny pinprick of light to make that lonely journey from its star to our eyes? The brilliance you see in the night sky, Jean-Luc, that exquisite light, it's just an echo, really, of a star that has long since faded. Like me. When you remember me, Jean-Luc, promise... promise me you will ignore the coldness of a dying star, and remember instead her light and the infinite love she so very much had for you.
