Star Trek: The Wisdom of Picard

Had I taken time to read about this book, I doubt I would have borrowed it. This seems that it is supposed to be a coffee table kind of book with large prints from episodes to go alongside quotes from Captain Picard throughout TV series and movies. The trouble is, that's all it is. 

I find that a quote in itself without context is a tenuous thing. Sometimes they retain their power as they communicate an universal truth beyond the context. There are a few of those in this book. Most of the quotes I feel need context, and some, even with context are just witty and don't convey any real wisdom. 

This book isn't for me for these reasons. Perhaps a fan who knows all the episodes more intimately than I do will find themselves transported to the episode and will feel the power and context of the quote. That is not the case for me. In my house, this would simply be a Star Trek themed dust collector.
