Quotes 

• Guinan : Did he ever tell you why we're so close?

  Captain William T. Riker : No.

  Guinan : Oh... Then let me just say that... our relationship is beyond friendship, beyond family. And I *will* let him go. And you must do the same. There can only be one Captain.

  Captain William T. Riker : It's not that simple. This was his crew. He wrote the book on this ship.

  Guinan : If the Borg know everything he knows, it's time to throw that book away. You *must* let him go, Riker. It's the only way to beat him. The only way to save him.

• Guinan : When a man is convinced he's going to die tomorrow, he'll probably find a way to make it happen. The only one who can turn this around is you.

  Captain William T. Riker : I'll do the best I can.

  Guinan : You're gonna have to do something you don't want to do. You have to let go of Picard.

• Guinan : I've heard a lot of people talking down in Ten Forward. They expect to be dead in the next day or so. They trust you. They like you. But they don't believe anyone can save them.
