Captain Kathryn Janeway Quotes

	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man The Doctor: Captain? Computer, pause music. I didn't wake you, did I? Captain Kathryn Janeway: That's all right, Doctor. Fifteen minutes of sleep is really all I need.
	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man The Doctor: I'd never admit this to anyone else, but there was a time when I would have given anything to be flesh and blood. But I've come to realize that being a hologram is far superior. Captain Kathryn Janeway: Really? The Doctor: No offence. I'll always enjoy the company of organics.
	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man The Doctor: Voyager can survive without a warpcore, but not without a captain. Captain Kathryn Janeway: Now it doesn't have either!
	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man Captain Kathryn Janeway: With a hologram on board, who needs a crew?
	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man The Doctor: I'm sorry I put us in this position, Captain. Captain Kathryn Janeway: You said you wanted us to spend more time together. The Doctor: This isn't what I had in mind.
	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man The Doctor: [to Captain Janeway] I've had something on my conscience for a long time. After I was first activated, I kept a record of what I considered to be your most... questionable command decisions. It's in my personal database. I hope you'll delete the file without reading it. The Doctor: [to Tuvok] Mr Tuvok. I violated the most sacred trust between a physician and his patient. I told Mr Neelix about the cutaneous eruption you developed on your... The Doctor: That was indiscreet. I hope you can forgive me. The Doctor: [to Harry] Ensign. At your recital last month, I told Lieutenant Torres that your saxophone playing reminded me of a wounded targ. I should have put it more delicately! I'm sorry! The Doctor: [pushing Kim aside] Seven. Seven of Nine: You should remain still. The Doctor: You have no idea how difficult it's been, hiding my true feelings all these years, averting my eyes during your regular maintenance exams! The Doctor: [falling on his knees] I know you could never have the same feelings for me, but I want you to know the truth. I love you, Seven! Seven of Nine: Your cognitive algorithms are malfunctioning. The Doctor: [stands up and waves the others goodbye] Goodbye, my friends! Speak well of me! Captain Kathryn Janeway: Is he...? B'Elanna Torres: No, I've got him. The Doctor: What happened? B'Elanna Torres: I deleted the extraneous subroutines. The Doctor: I'm not going to decompile? Captain Kathryn Janeway: You'll probably outlive us all. Tom Paris: Doc - anything... else you'd like to confess?
	Season 7 / Episode 24: - Renaissance Man Captain Kathryn Janeway: Now, when you're on the holodeck with the Captain, there are two rules you have to follow. The Doctor: I understand. Captain Kathryn Janeway: First, leave your rank at the door. The Doctor: Not a problem. The second? Captain Kathryn Janeway: No opera.
	Season 7 / Episode 23: - Homestead Tuvok: [At a First Contact Day celebration party] Vulcans do not dance. Neelix: But it's tradition! Tuvok: There is no tradition, Mr. Neelix. This ceremony is entirely your invention. Captain Kathryn Janeway: This is an official ship function, Commander. Don't make me order you to dance.
	Season 7 / Episode 23: - Homestead Captain Kathryn Janeway: [to Naomi] I've never seen First Contact Day celebrated quite like this. When I was your age, all it meant was a day off from school.
	Season 7 / Episode 23: - Homestead Captain Kathryn Janeway: Now that we've established two-way communication with Earth... it seems to me, Starfleet could use a permanent ambassador in the Delta Quadrant. This ambassador would have to stay in frequent contact with Voyager. Neelix: [whispers] Certainly. Captain Kathryn Janeway: It would be difficult for me to run this ship without you, Neelix. But that might be a sacrifice I'd be willing to make - for the greater good of Starfleet. Of course, the assignment would be entirely voluntary... You wouldn't be interested - would you?
	Season 7 / Episode 23: - Homestead Captain Kathryn Janeway: Goodbye... and good luck, Ambassador.
	Season 7 / Episode 22: - Natural Law Captain Kathryn Janeway: What do you think we should do? Seven of Nine: I'm uncertain. Captain Kathryn Janeway: It's not like you to be on the fence.
	Season 7 / Episode 21: - Friendship One Admiral Hendricks: The Voth, the Kobali, the Vaadwaur. You've made first contact with more species than any captain since James Kirk. Captain Kathryn Janeway: It helps being the only Starfleet ship within 30,000 light years. Admiral Hendricks: You are being too humble. From the first time you spoke up in my classroom I knew you'd go far. Captain Kathryn Janeway: A little farther than I expected, Professor.
	Season 7 / Episode 21: - Friendship One Captain Kathryn Janeway: I think about our ancestors. Thousands of years wondering if they were alone in the universe. Finally discovering they weren't. You can't blame them for wanting to reach out, see how many other species were out there, asking the same questions. Chakotay: The urge to explore is pretty powerful. Captain Kathryn Janeway: But it can't justify the loss of lives - whether it's millions... or just one.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author Captain Kathryn Janeway: Authors have rights. Arden Broht: Not in this case. The Doctor: What do you mean? Arden Broht: The Doctor is a hologram. The Doctor: So? Arden Broht: According to Federation law, holograms have no rights.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: It's the crew's reputations that are at risk. Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm not so sure. I think it's your reputation that's on the line here. You have the same rights as every other member of this crew. And I'm not going to let this publisher say otherwise.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author Captain Kathryn Janeway: Centuries ago, in most places on Earth, only landowners of a particular gender and race had any rights at all. Over time, those rights were extended to all Humans, and later, as we explored the galaxy, to thousands of other sentient species. Our definition of what constitutes a person has continued to evolve. Now we're asking that you expand that definition once more - to include our Doctor. When I met him seven years ago, I would never have believed that an EMH could become a valued member of my crew - and my friend. The Doctor is a person, as real as any flesh and blood I have ever known. If you believe the testimony you've heard here, it's only fair to conclude that he has the same rights as any of us.
	Season 7 / Episode 20: - Author, Author The Doctor: Do you think I'll be able to find another publisher? Captain Kathryn Janeway: If there's one thing I've learned about you, Doctor, it's that you can do just about anything you set your mind to.
	Season 7 / Episode 17: - Workforce, Part 2 Captain Kathryn Janeway: We're the same race! Chakotay: We're more than that. We're friends.
	Season 7 / Episode 17: - Workforce, Part 2 Captain Kathryn Janeway: It may not have been real, Chakotay; but it felt like home. If you hadn't come after me, I never would have known that I had another life. Chakotay: Are you sorry I showed up? Captain Kathryn Janeway: Not for a second.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - The Void Tuvok: I've detected a number of vessels monitoring us. Tom Paris: The vultures are circling. Captain Kathryn Janeway: Vultures eat the dead, Mr Paris. We're not dead yet.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - The Void Captain Kathryn Janeway: Welcome to the Alliance.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - The Void General Valen: My scans show you have photon torpedoes. Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm sorry, we don't trade weapons. General Valen: Why not? Captain Kathryn Janeway: Because we have no way of knowing what they'll be used for. Plundering innocent ships, for example. General Valen: Wait a few weeks until your resources start to run out. Morality won't keep your life support systems running. Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm sorry, General. There are some compromises I won't make. General Valen: Not yet.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - The Void Chakotay: We may not like Valen's tactics, but he and his crew are still alive after five years in here. Captain Kathryn Janeway: I was thinking about that myself. I thought maybe I could get some guidance from the Federation Charter. I was hoping I'd find a loophole that would allow us to... take actions we ordinarily wouldn't take. Chakotay: Any luck? Captain Kathryn Janeway: The Charter's a statement of principles, not a practical document. Chakotay: No section on how to exist in a void. Captain Kathryn Janeway: No. But I've become convinced that we've got to stick to our principles, not abandon them. Chakotay: Should the crew be ready to die for those principles? Captain Kathryn Janeway: If the alternative means becoming thieves and killers ourselves, yes. But I'm betting that our principles are going to keep us alive.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - The Void Captain Kathryn Janeway: We may lose a little weight, gentlemen. But we won't lose who we are.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - The Void Captain Kathryn Janeway: Maybe the best way to get help is to give it.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - The Void General Valen: This new ship has impressive technology. We could share it. Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm not here to divide the spoils. General Valen: Then why are you here? Captain Kathryn Janeway: To protect the ship you're firing on. General Valen: What are they to you? Captain Kathryn Janeway: Just some people in a bad situation, like the rest of us.
	Season 7 / Episode 15: - The Void Captain Kathryn Janeway: I'm so glad we taught them the value of cooperation.
	Season 7 / Episode 14: - Prophecy T'Greth: Grant me a warrior's death. I beg of you. Captain Kathryn Janeway: Sorry, no mercy killings on my bridge.
	Season 7 / Episode 14: - Prophecy Kohlar: It is possible that the sacred scrolls were scrolled by a madman in a cave. Or perhaps they really were divinely inspired. Either way, they've guided us for over a century. If my people start to believe that the sacred scrolls have led them astray, there may be violence. Captain Kathryn Janeway: Is that a threat? Kohlar: Merely a fact. You're doing everything you can to get your people home, Captain. That's all I'm doing for mine.
