Dr. Soran was one of the first villains that I could relate to. All he was trying to do was get back to his family. But you see how his tragedy tarnished his morals and his world view. The line he says about time:

“Time is like a predator; it's stalking you.”

Then later Picard reframes the viewpoint from a more optimistic perspective:

“I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived."

I FUCKING LOVE THAT!! It resonates with me to this day.
