Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Oh, that's perfect.
Hannah Bates : What?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : If the answer to all of this is in a VISOR created for a blind man who never would have existed in your society. No offense intended.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : So... guess if I had been conceived on your world, I wouldn't even be here now, would I?
Hannah Bates : No.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : No. I'd have been... terminated as a fertilized cell.
Hannah Bates : It was the wish of our founders that no one have to suffer a life with disabilities.

Hannah Bates : I was born to be one of the best scientific minds of my generation, and in the past five days, I have encountered technology that I have barely imagined. I've got to ask myself, if we're so brilliant, how come *we* didn't invent any of these things?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Well, maybe necessity really is the mother of invention.

Martin Benbeck : We have immeasurably extended the potential of humanity - physically, psychologically... We have evolved beyond... beyond...
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Beyond us.
Martin Benbeck : Frankly - yes. No one in this society would be blind, for example. No offense intended.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You never really look for something until you need it.
