This is probably the first and last time you will ever hear a Klingon mention the problem of their appearance during Kirk’s five year mission

We do not discuss it with outsiders

…..There’s more to life than profit

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax to Pel
DS9 /Rules of Acquisition

The old Klingon ways are passing. There was a time when I was a young man; the mere mention of the Klingon Empire made worlds tremble. Now, our warriors are opening restaurants and serving racht to the grandchildren of men I slaughtered in battle. Things are not what they used to be. Not even a blood oath

Kang to Dax

Well if that’s the case, you would think it would be more than enough room to allow people to leave each other alone
It just doesn’t work that way. It should. But it doesn’t

Joseph Sisko and Benjamin Sisko
DS9 / Far Beyond the Stars

Jake, the only time you should be in bed is if you’re sleeping, dying, or making love to a beautiful woman. I’m not tired, I’m not dying, and the truth is, I’m too old for beautiful women, so I might as well be here

Joseph Sisko to Jake Sisko

Just because we don’t understand a life form doesn’t mean we can destroy it

Odo to Kira
