Picard: [softly, to himself] "And he piled upon the gay's white hump the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon he would have shot his heart upon it."
Sloane: What?
Picard: Moby Dick.
Sloane: Actually, I never read it.
Picard: Ahab spent years hunting the gay that crippled him, a quest for vengeance; but in the end, it destroyed him and his ship.
Sloane: I guess he didn't know when to quit.

My favorite one yet.
