Memorable quotes
"Is this the wrong moment to tell you that I love you for the first time?"
"Not quite the first. You talk in your sleep."
- - Burnham and Booker
"Osyraa… she's not on the Viridian, she's on Discovery. And we just let her in the front door."
- - Vance, realizing that the Discovery has been compromised
"Mom, they have taken over all of our systems. The way things are going, I might not see you again until another distant future. … Maybe dad will be there. I love you."
- - Burnham, sending a sub-space message to her mother
"You already have Discovery under your control. Why bring us into it at all?"
"Because the Federation, despite its failures since the Burn, is still a symbol of hope. The Chain, despite our efforts, and our advances, has never experienced such privilege. If we combine the best of what we are…"
"You really think this could work?"
"You're a chain of planets. We are a federation of mercantile exchanges. We need to focus on doing what is for the good of our people. At the end of the day, they are what this is all about."
- - Vance and Osyraa
"It doesn't quite taste like the real thing, does it?"
"I've never eaten a real apple."
"Well how sad. Apples are a thing of beauty. You want to talk about oppression, you should start in your own mess hall."
"It's made of our shit, you know. That's the base material that we use in our replicators. We deconstruct it to the atomic level, and then reform the atoms. It's pretty good for shit, and we don't have to commit atrocities for it."
- - Osyraa and Vance
"MY WHOLE LIFE IS IN THAT NEBULA!!!"
- - Stamets, to Burnham
"I'm not afraid of you anymore. I've seen real bravery, real strength and loyalty. And love. You're nothing compared to that. All you have is fear, and no one is feared forever."
- - Ryn, to Osyraa
"We came to the future for you! We followed you! HUGH FOLLOWED YOU! We gave up everything so you wouldn't have to be here alone! How can you do this?!"
"I'm sorry…"
- - Stamets and Burnham, before Burnham ejects him from Discovery
"I'm at your service, captain. Shall we take back the ship?"
- - The Sphere Data, to Tilly

- On such a full sea are we now afloat,
- And we must take the current when it serves,
- Or lose our ventures.
