 Mortality gives meaning to human life, Captain. Peace, love, friendship. These are precious, because we know they cannot endure. So, if you're mortal, all those things are precious and life is meaningful, but if you're immortal, they're not. I think data's got it totally backwards. Peace, love, and friendship are not precious because we know they cannot last, but because they make us feel good. They give us somebody to rely on to spend time with, somebody who understands us, whom we can have fun with, and so on. And frankly, the longer I could have those things, the better.
