Death is that state where one lives only in the memory of others, which is why it is not an end. No goodbyes – just good memories. Star Trek: The Next Generation s1e23: Skin of Evil, Picard’s log
Data, you’re asking probably the most difficult of all questions. Some see it as a changing into an indestructible form, forever unchanging. They believe that the purpose of the entire universe is to then maintain that form in an Earth-like garden which will give delight and pleasure through all eternity. On the other hand there are those who hold to the idea of our blinking into nothingness with all of our experiences and hopes and dreams merely a delusion ... Considering the marvellous complexity of the universe, its clockwork perfection, its balances of this against that ... matter, energy, gravitation, time, dimension, I believe that our existence must be more than either of these philosophies. That what we are goes beyond Euclidean or other ‘practical’ measuring systems ... and that our existence is part of a reality beyond what we understand now as reality. Star Trek: The Next Generation s2e2: Where Silence Has Lease, Picard to alien as Data
Maybe if we felt any human loss as keenly as we feel one of those close to us, human history would be far less bloody. Star Trek: The Next Generation s3e5: The Bonding, Riker
