SACRED GROUND

Chakotay: Of course, there's always the possibility that the Ancestral Spirits really do control what happens in the shrine.
Janeway: To each his own, Commander. But I imagine if we scratch deep enough we'd find a scientific basis for most religious doctrine.

Guide: You are fond of your little devices, aren't you?
Janeway: They've always served me well.
Guide: Mathematics. I can see why you enjoyed it. Solve a problem, get an answer. The answer's either right or wrong. It's very absolute.
Janeway: I've always found that challenging.

Janeway: I'm dying.
Guide: Everyone dies eventually.

Guide: You mean you want proof that we exist.
Janeway: That would be helpful.
Guide: It's irrelevant.

Guide: You've come back to seek the spirits?
Janeway: I don't know what I'm seeking.
Guide: Good answer.

Man: You'll find all the answers eventually with enough time and study with the right sort of tools. That's what you believe, isn't it?....
Janeway: Yes, that's what I've always believed.
Man: Even when her science fails right before her eyes, she still has full confidence in it. Now there's a leap of faith.

Chakotay: Captain, I don't understand this.
Janeway: Neither do I.
Janeway: It's a perfectly sound explanation, Doctor. Very scientific.
