Movie quotes

  • (..) There are no individuals. I am the beginning, the end, the one who is many. I am the Borg. Greetings. I am curious, do you control the Borg collective? You imply disparity where none exists. I am the collective. I'll rephrase the question. I wish to understand their hierarchy. Are you their leader? (..)
