These quotations indicate the character of (Holo-)Leonardo. To him, Kathryn Janeway is known as Catarina.
"I thought that because my imagination took flight so easily my body could do the same. I was wrong."
"There are times, Catarina, when I find myself transfixed by a shadow on the wall, or the splashing of water against a stone. I stare at it, the hours pass, the world around me drops away, replaced by worlds being created and destroyed by my imagination - a way to focus the mind."
The above quotes are from [
68 Scorpion, Part One]. The rest are from [79 Concerning Flight].
"A bird is a mechanical instrument that works according to mathematical laws, an instrument that surely I can recreate."
"He is the perfect prince - intelligent, but not overly so; in awe of my talent, but not threatened by it. And above all, and most importantly his purse is inexhaustible." Of Tau
"When are we not in prison? Hmm? When are our lives free from the influence of those who have more power than us? If this New World is a cage, than it is a cage of gold, of marvels, of opportunities."
"Catarina, observe the construction, like the veins and arteries of a great animal. Now this is the way to build, using nature as your guide."
"Marvels, yes, but this is magic. Enchantment, not science, and I refuse to believe in enchantment."
"I must understand. Catarina, to see objects disappear into thin air, to see lightning pass through my body. Are we spirits? Catarina, am I dead?"
Janeway: "And as a man can you accept that there may be certain realities beyond the limits of your comprehension?"
Holo-Leonardo: "I could not accept that. And I would be a fool."
"When Petrarch climbed Mount Verdoun and saw all Europe below him, he knew he was witnessing the birth of a new age. He was witnessing the Renaissance, the rebirth of our world. So, Catarina, at this summit here, you and I will be reborn - reborn, with wings!"
"I have written to the King of France telling him of my adventures in the New World and invited him to soar with me off the towers of his castle."
"Machines that fly through the air, lightning flung from one's hands, mechanical women who live in boxes. These things I have seen! And these things I must re-create. And who knows? Possibly improve upon."
"All my life I have wanted to fly. Perhaps my failure to do so has caused my heart to remain in flight, leaping from one thing to another, never satisfied, never complete."
Janeway: "And now that you've actually flown....."
Holo-Leonardo: "Now who knows what I cannot accomplish."
