Mine is from an early 2000s film called Vanilla Sky.

"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."

“A lie of omission is still a lie!!”
- Jean Luc Picard berating Wesley and also me, angry at my cats when I ask them if they knocked over the bag of treats and ate all the treats, and they refuse to answer me
There. Are. FOUR LIGHTS!! Also Jean Luc. Anytime I'm telling my SO there are 4 of something. This is probably why we can't keep friends.
“The line must be drawn here. This far, no farther!”
Also Jean-Luc Picard
And I will make them pay for what they've done.
There's so many good moments in that movie. It is my favorite trek movie.
And also more importantly Quark.
Lieutenant Worf : [referring to Admiral Satie] I believed her. I, I helped her. I did not see what she was.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf, villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.
Lieutenant Worf : I think... after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Maybe. But she, or someone like her, will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mister Worf - that is the price we have to continually pay.
Reminds me of
"Nothing everything is a lesson. Sometimes you just fail." ~ Dwight Schrute, The Office
Picard is a real quote machine. The one closest to my heart is:
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There's no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.
Wesley Crusher : But William James won't be on my Starfleet exams.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.
Wesley Crusher : And Starfleet Academy...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.
I get the best eye-rolls followed by smiles from my wife when I say: "you choo-choo choose me?"
