The Buried Age (Star Trek The Next Generation, The Lost Years)

by Christopher L. Bennett

“It is always easy to second-guess a decision after the fact, when certain knowledge of its results is available,”

Any event will always appear different in hindsight than in foresight.

There is a difference between having factual information about a thing and having working knowledge of how it is applied in practice.”

The events we remember most readily are the exceptions to the pattern of our lives.

I think that when you’ve been angry for a very long time, you just get used to it. It gets … comfortable. Kind of like old leather. After a while, you can forget you ever felt any other way. You forget it’s even there.”
