Quotes 

• Alexander Rozhenko at 50 : [referring to young Alexander]  I staged the assassination attempt to try and frighten him, to make him realize that he must follow the ways of the warrior. If I had listened to you, if I had become the warrior that you had wanted me to be... you would not have died in my arms.

  Lieutenant Worf : No. Who knows what the future will be, now that you have disrupted time. I may die tomorrow, or I may outlive you. But when I die, I would like an honorable death; and the only way that is possible is for you to accept yourself as you are, and stay true to what you believe.

• Lieutenant Worf : You have given me a glimpse into my son's future. And I know now that he has his own destiny. And I believe it will be a great one.

  [they hug] 

  Alexander Rozhenko at 50 : I love you, Father.

  Lieutenant Worf : And I you, Alexander.

• Lieutenant Worf : If you are Alexander, you will remember your mother's last words before she died.

  Alexander Rozhenko at 50 : I was three years old. She was dying when we found her. She barely managed to whisper my name. And then she took my hand and placed it in yours. And she died. And then you howled in rage, and said "Look upon her. Look upon death, and always remember." And I always have.

• K'Mtar : [about Quark]  Could not he have been lying?

  Commander William T. Riker : Why would he? I'd just be knocking on his door again in a few days, and I wouldn't be in as good a mood.

• K'Mtar : Size is not the most important thing. Skill, cunning, powers of observation, are the most important weapons.

• K'Mtar : Your head is filled with foolish Human notions about how things are. You're a Klingon! It is time you began to act like one.

• K'Mtar : [as Worf prepares to strangle him]  Father, stop! I am your son - I am Alexander!
