Doctor Beverly Crusher Quotes
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 23: - The Host Doctor Beverly Crusher: Perhaps it is a human failing; but we are not accustomed to these kinds of changes. I can't keep up. How long will you have this host? What would the next one be? I can't live with that kind of uncertainty. Perhaps, someday, our ability to love won't be so limited. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 23: - The Host Doctor Beverly Crusher: Odan... I do love you. Please remember that. Kareel Odan: I will never forget you. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 20: - Qpid Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I think this is supposed to be Earth - somewhere... round about the twelfth century. And this is England, or to be more precise, Sherwood Forest; at least Q's recreation of it. Commander William T. Riker: That would explain these costumes. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Quite right, Number One - or... should I say 'John Little'? Doctor Beverly Crusher: Well, if he's Little John, that makes you... Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I know. Robin Hood. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 19: - The Nth Degree Barclay: The moon, yes, that'll be my home, my... Paradise. I shall find there all the souls that I love: Socrates, Galileo... And when I arrive, they will question my worthiness. "What the devil is *he* doing there among us?" Philosopher, scientist, poet, musician, duellist! Here lies Hercule Savinien De Cyrano de Bergerac! [to Beverly, as Roxane] I would not have you weep any less for that charming, good and handsome Christian. I only ask this: that as the great cold surrounds my bones, you allow a double meaning for your mourning veil. And when you let fall your tears for him, some few will be... for me. Doctor Beverly Crusher: [blinking away tears]... That was a real improvement. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 19: - The Nth Degree Doctor Beverly Crusher: [analyzing Barclay's brainpower] I couldn't even guess at your IQ level now. Barclay: Probably somewhere between 1200 and 1450. Doctor Beverly Crusher: But that isn't all. The corpus callosum, the connecting bridge between both sides of the brain? It is so active now that the hemispheres are essentially behaving as one. Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: So it's not just raw intelligence we're talking about here? Doctor Beverly Crusher: No. Creativity, resourcefulness, inspiration, imagination, they've all been enhanced. Lieutenant - you could very well be the most advanced human being who has ever lived. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 19: - The Nth Degree Doctor Beverly Crusher: He taught violin technique at the music school last night. Commander William T. Riker: I didn't know Barclay played the violin. Doctor Beverly Crusher: He didn't. Not until last night. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 18: - Identity Crisis Doctor Beverly Crusher: You're worried about Geordi, aren't you? Lt. Commander Data: I am an android. It is not possible for me... Doctor Beverly Crusher: ...for you to feel anxiety. Lt. Commander Data: Starfleet personnel have vanished. Others may be at risk. We must do the best we can to find out why. Lt. Commander Data: However, I am... Lt. Commander Data: ...strongly motivated to solve this mystery. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 17: - Night Terrors Doctor Beverly Crusher: We have to dream in order to survive. If we don't reach REM sleep, we don't dream, we... we begin to lose our cognitive abilities, we find it hard to concentrate, we forget... how to do the most ordinary task. Then we become irritable, paranoid; some people experience hallucinations. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: You're describing the situation on this ship. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 17: - Night Terrors Doctor Beverly Crusher: There is an inevitable conclusion to this pattern. And if I can't find a way to stop it... we will all go insane! |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 17: - Night Terrors Doctor Beverly Crusher: No matter what I do, no one can reach REM sleep, no one can dream. Except for you. Counselor Deanna Troi: Except me. And... all I have is nightmares. I can hardly sleep at all anymore. Counselor Deanna Troi: In the end, I'll be like him. Just like him. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 16: - Galaxy's Child Doctor Beverly Crusher: Captain, I'd like to announce the birth of a large baby... something. |

![]() | Season 4 / Episode 10: - The Loss Doctor Beverly Crusher: If you were anyone else, you know the first thing I'd do? I'd send you to Counselor Troi. Counselor Deanna Troi: Well, then I have an advantage, don't I? I see her quite often. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 10: - The Loss Doctor Beverly Crusher: Therapists are always the worst patients - except for doctors, of course. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 6: - Legacy Doctor Beverly Crusher: You keep using the word 'peace'. We've heard a different version of life on Turkana IV. Hayne: Ancient history. Where did you hear that? Lt. Commander Data: A former crewman was born here. Hayne: Where is he now? Lt. Commander Data: *She* was killed in the line of duty. Hayne: Yeah, that's as good a way to die as any. |

![]() | Season 4 / Episode 5: - Remember Me Chief Miles O'Brien: I'm sorry. I-I remember you being here for a short while. But you were alone. Doctor Beverly Crusher: [dumbfounded] W-wa... was he invisible? Did I carry on a conversation with thin air? |

![]() | Season 4 / Episode 5: - Remember Me Doctor Beverly Crusher: I'd like Lieutenant Worf to program on-board sensors to monitor all personnel. If we can catch the mom...

He's... he's *very* good at playing poker, loves to cook; he-he listens to jazz music, plays the trombone. -... - Commander Data, the android who sits at Ops. *Dreams* of being human. Never gets the punch line of a joke. -... - Deanna Troi, your ship's counselor, half-Betazoid, loves chocolate; the arrival of her mother makes you shudder. O'Brien, Geordi, Worf. Wesley, my son! They all have been the living, breathing heart of this crew for over three years! They deserve more than to be shrugged off... brushed aside, just pinched out of existence like that. They all do. They deserve so much more. |
![]() | Season 4 / Episode 5: - Remember Me Doctor Beverly Crusher: Deanna - I need you to tell me if I've gone completely mad. Counselor Deanna Troi: If you can ask the question, I'd say no.

Commander Data: I am afraid ship's records do not concur, Doctor. Doctor Beverly Crusher: What are you talking about? Lt. Commander Data: You do not have a staff.
