Marina Sirtis: Counselor Deanna Troi

Quotes 

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [on his way to go horse-riding on the holodeck]  Are you sure you won't reconsider?

  Counselor Deanna Troi : No. I'll just watch you and be impressed.

• [Picard has suggested to Troi that she try a little horse-riding] 

  Counselor Deanna Troi : No, I prefer a mode of transportation that doesn't have a mind of its own.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Strange. I would expect Betazoids to be outstanding animal trainers.

  Counselor Deanna Troi : We become too involved in the thoughts and shifting passions of the beast. We lose our way and get swept up in the emotion.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [indicating himself]  I would have thought the shifting passions of this beast would be far more terrifying.

• Counselor Deanna Troi : I had a Betazoid kitten once. My mother and the cat reacted... badly to one another.

• Counselor Deanna Troi : If there is a cosmic plan, are we not a part of it? Our presence at this moment in time could be a part of that fate.
