A scene from Star Trek Generations 1994
Jean-Luc Picard

What you're about to do, Soran, is no different from when the Borg destroyed your world. They killed millions, too, including your wife... your children.

Tolian Soran

[smiles]

Nice try. You know there, was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came, and they showed me that if there is one constant in this whole universe, it's death. Afterwards, I began to realize that it didn't really matter. We're all going to die sometime. It's just a question of how and when. You will, too, Captain. Aren't you beginning to fell time gaining on you? It's like a predator. It's stalking you. Oh, you can try and outrun it with doctor, medicines, new technologies, but in the end, time is going to hunt you down and make the kill.

Jean-Luc Picard

It's our mortality that defines us, Soran. It's part of the truth of our existence.

Tolian Soran

What if I told you I found a new truth?

Jean-Luc Picard

The nexus?

Tolian Soran

Time has no meaning there. The predator has no teeth.
