“Oh, do wipe that childish look of confusion off of your face, Kathryn. Whatever the man’s faults may have been, and many they were, his choice of drink was exceptional. You? You’re but a half-step away from boiling kidney and navy beans!”

I must not Lwaxana.
Lwaxana is the mind-killer.
Lwaxana is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my Lwaxana.

And when she has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see her path.
Where the Lwaxana has gone there will be nothing.
