' Ｐａｔｉｅｎｃｅ is the antidote to the restless poison of egotism in man ; without it, we all become constituents to our own megalomania — emblematically, ｂｕｌｌｓ in ｃｈｉｎａ shops. We always seem to succumb to destroying our future happiness as we blindly rush in where angels fear to tread. '
' In these farcical moments, we bulldoze through the best possible outcomes for our lives, only to return to the scene of the crime at a later date. We say we are composed, we keep ourselves entertained -- and yet we proceed to weep at the prospect of what some might call -- spilled milk. '

The world -- as we know it -- is a nonsensical, harebrained ecosystem in in which all things proclaimed before emotional stability and intellectual superiority ( or finesse ) are both commended, and questioned. It is beautiful, and it is ugly ; and above all else -- it is complicated.
And that's exactly how James Tiberius Kirk would havewantedit.
' ----------- Ｓｕｐｅｒｓｔｉｔｉｏｎ -- Jim -- is not particularly ... becoming on you. Reading, inquiring -- do these things not constitute as customary -- or conventional? Tell me -- do these things not qualify? Do they not fit the parameters of your apocryphal ｄｅｆｉｎｉｔｉｏｎof normalcy? '
Spock knew this, Spock knew this and still he never ceased in his relentless efforts to make Jim question himself. Question his modus. Question his methods. Unravel himself from the dark places -- only to find that it was the Vulcan's game -- and intention -- the whole time. The truth of the matter is -- the real truth of it all -- is that Spock, too, keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness and to beauty to weirdness -- and then finally to tragedy. Like all of us. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of an organism, an officer, a humanitarian, a Vulcan, a theoretical physicist, a computer scientist, a brother, a lover, or a friend never becomes any less difficult or taxing. And it never becomes obsolete.
But that's exactly how Spock would havewantedit.

”Commannnder Spock! Sir!” Gaila chews the words around her mouth, as if savouring their taste in her tongue. She’d have never guessed she would one day be able to speak so lackadaisically to a Vulcan. Only Earth could provide such opportunities, she thought with an utterly amused smirk. “Have you seen Cadet Uhara?”
' Your boundless and near incessant enthusiasm—Cadet—never ceases to impress me. It is with this enthusiasm that we define eminence. It will establish the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved——-remember this when others choose to debase your integrity. '
[ Not quite an attempt at mockery or derision, but not precisely a statement of praise or academic rectitude, either. He was not particularly—in favor of vehemence and avidity; human nature had always seemed mercilessly philanthropic, and he supposed that for the well-being of life and of accomplishment, he shall let it roam free and frolic as if it were some organized, coherent, and moreover prudent basis for thesis and postulation. ]

' The stultifying impact of your vacuous vituperation, Ensign. ' ' ---------- Is more piteous than execrable. '
what's the difference spock between a man and a boy?
’ I find it curious, Ensign, that you chose to interrogate me on the finer points of masculinity and the ideas attributed to the establishment of Histocracy. ‘
’ I suppose that it is a man, who will respect benevolence and the will of others no matter the circumstance. A boy will respect another individual, once he has found something that he desires—perhaps something you posses, something you have access to.’
‘ A man will provide for his family, by any means necessary. A boy will make excuses as to why he cannot. A man will prepare for the future, while a boy proceeds to live in the moment —- … ‘
‘ A boy wishes to exist imprudently on the forceps of his own procrastination.’
‘ A man looks to gain the respect of the family; a boy will look, only to gain popularity from his peers and his enemies, and of those around him. A man is firm in his beliefs. A boy changes his beliefs depending solely upon his audience.’
‘ A man has integrity. A boy makes promises he knows he cannot keep.”
‘ A man will always invest in the opportunity to educate himself while a boy remains ignorant; endorsing the rather farcical notion that he knows everything. A man seeks more than aesthetic appeal. A boy seeks beauty so he can show off; his love is synthetic, and obverse.’
’ It is in my experience, I have found, that boys are predictable. As soon as they think of something, they do it. Men are much more deductive and systematic in operation—they think enough to plan ahead. They think about not getting caught.’
‘ I might say that the superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he does not become distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has. It is a boy, that will rely only on the opinions of others.’
‘ Man as an individual is a genius. But boys in the mass, form the headless monster—a great, brutish beast confounded and based on idiocy, that goes where prodded.’
‘ —-….Men fraternize to enjoy one another and their respective company; boys require an activity—rather—an excuse so as to not be considered homosexual.’
‘ It is said that men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues; I advocate for the idea that boys are more easily guided through the intimidation that moral inadequacy presents.’
' We say that it is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are reprimanded on the federal ambit. We must eradicate all deviants in social and communal propriety, unless of course they mean to kill in inordinately large and grotesque numbers ----- simply for the sake of feigned patriotism, and to the sound of trumpets and the incessant beckoning of abhorrent and controlled men in line, instructed to march. '
' The creative and more perceptive individual possesses the capacity and the propensity to free himself from a web of civil or legislative coercion ---- those minuscule pressures presented to us each and every day, the pressures in which the rest of us are caught and controlled. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept. ' ' Please ---- Captain. ' ' Remember this in my absence. ' ' ... I trust that you will ; as the creative man. '

' Call into question your own reasoning ----- a basis for empirical interest, Captain. I see to it that our arrangements remain untainted in the face of ... conjectural variability. ' ' You are of course, a very busy man. '
" A man is given one responsibility. Curious to me it seems, that you have not yet comprehended the prospect of unmitigated apathy, and the qualms I have against comprehensive, intellectual ambivalence. "
" Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be utilized in kind, not to break the multitude to cognitive vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from the lethargy that beckons them --------- to aid them to judge for themselves. "
