List of voters for the quote

Lt. Commander Data: Their ability to abstract is highly unusual. They seem to communicate through narrative imagery, a reference to the individuals and places which appear in their mytho-historical accounts.Counselor Deanna Troi: It's as if I were to say to you... "Juliet on her balcony".Doctor Beverly Crusher: An image of romance.Counselor Deanna Troi: Exactly. Imagery is everything to the Tamarians. It embodies their emotional states, their very thought processes. It's how they communicate, and it's how they think.Commander William T. Riker: If we know how they think, shouldn't we be able to get something across to them?Lt. Commander Data: No, sir. The situation is analogous to understanding the grammar of a language, but none of the vocabulary.Doctor Beverly Crusher: If I didn't know who Juliet was or what she was doing on that balcony, the image alone wouldn't have any meaning.Counselor Deanna Troi: That's correct. For instance, we know that Darmok was a great hero, a hunter, and that Tanagra was an island. But that's it. Without the details, there's no understanding.
