ANNORAX: I am 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 rationalise genocide. One species is significant, a single life is significant!
ANNORAX: It seemed so easy the first time. In the blink of an eye, I had changed history itself. Allowed my people to thrive again. But when I changed history a second time, I lost more than you can imagine.
CHAKOTAY: I've been studying your previous incursions. No matter how close you get to restoring the time line, one component is always missing. Kyana Prime. Who was on that colony? Who did you lose?
ANNORAX: My wife, and with her my future. My children, grandchildren, all erased because of me. This (lock of red hair) is all I have left of her. So many years I worked through the night while she was sleeping. How could I have known I was calculating her fate? I can't stop until I've restored Kyana Prime and forced time to give me back my wife.
ANNORAX: When I tell that time has moods, a disposition to be intuited, I'm not speaking metaphorically.
ANNORAX: Anger is one of it's 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.
