• [last lines] 

  Annorax's Wife : Good morning.

  Annorax : Good morning.

  Annorax's Wife : Join me for breakfast?

  Annorax : In a little while. I still have a... few more calculations.

  Annorax's Wife : There are always a few more calculations. It's a beautiful day. Spend it with me.

  Annorax : I suppose I can make the time.

• Annorax : You're an anomalous component - alone, disconnected, impossible to predict. You have no idea how you've complicated my mission.

  Tom Paris : Glad to hear it.

• Chakotay : You've been at this for 200 years, Annorax. What makes you think you're ever going to succeed?

  Annorax : What makes you think Voyager will ever reach Earth? The odds against you are astronomical. Yet you keep trying.

  Chakotay : You're right. But we don't destroy everything that stands in our way.

• Annorax : Past, present and future - they exist as one, they breathe together.

• Annorax : When time offers you an opportunity, you don't ignore it.

• Annorax : [after Chakotay has eradicated a comet in a simulation to change Voyager's history]  Congratulations. You almost wiped out 8,000 civilizations.

• Annorax : I have collected artifacts from... hundreds of worlds. This vessel is more than a weapon. It's a museum of lost histories.

• Annorax : Target Voyager. Put Janeway out of her misery.

• Annorax : I'm altering history on a massive scale. The destinies of countless star systems are in my hands. The fate of one species is insignificant.

  Chakotay : You're trying to rationalize genocide. One species *is* significant, a single life is significant!

• Annorax : Beyond study and instrumentation, there is instinct. Not everyone has the ability to truly perceive time - its colors, its moods.

• Annorax : [of Tom Paris]  I've never seen such an intransigent young man.

  Chakotay : You've had us in isolation for two months; we've been scanned, poked and prodded. How do you expect us to act?

  Annorax : With some degree of dignity and restraint. Your crewmate has none.

• Annorax : When I tell you that time has moods, a disposition to be intuited, I'm not speaking metaphorically.

  Chakotay : What *do* you mean?

  Annorax : Anger is one of its moods - anger, and the desire for retribution, vengeance. Time itself has tried to punish me for my arrogance. It has kept me from my wife, denied me my future!

• Annorax : You can't imagine the burden of memory that I carry. Thousands of worlds, billions of lives, gone, brought back, gone again... I try to rationalize the loss. They're not really being destroyed, because they never existed. Sometimes I can... almost convince myself.

• Annorax : In the meantime, my mission must continue.

  Chakotay : You don't have the right!

  Annorax : To fight for what is mine? That's not for you to decide. Only time can pronounce judgment against me.
