Quotes 

• Counselor Deanna Troi : We deal with our pain in many different ways. But over the years, I've discovered it's in joy that the uniqueness of each individual is revealed. If I can help a person back to a state of joy... well, my role has its rewards.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Serving on a starship means accepting certain risks... certain dangers. Did Jeremy Aster make that choice?

  Counselor Deanna Troi : Death and loss are an integral part of life everywhere. Leaving him on Earth would not have protected him.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : No, but the Earth isn't likely to be ordered to the Neutral Zone or to repel a Romulan attack. It was my command which sent his mother to her death. She understood her mission and my duty. Will he?

  Counselor Deanna Troi : In time. And with help. Wesley Crusher does. He does. And so will Jeremy.
