“You proceed from a false assumption: I have no ego to bruise.”

Judging by the pollution content of the atmosphere, I believe we have arrived at the late twentieth century.

I’ve noticed that about your people, Doctor. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart, yet how little room there seems to be in yours.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

The book tour has been really interesting and very gratifying. I have not book toured before. I’ve never had quite as much pleasure, as much satisfaction.

A neighborhood friend showed me how it was possible to go to a camera shop and pick up chemicals for pennies literally and develop your own film and make prints.

Interesting. You Earth people glorify organized violence for 40 centuries, but you imprison those who employ it privately.

What fiction could match – in drama or suspense – man’s first walk on the Moon?

I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.

My dream concept is that I have a camera and I am trying to photograph what is essentially invisible. And every once in a while I get a glimpse of her and I grab that picture.

Greetings, I am pleased to see that we are different. May we together become greater than the sum of both of us.

Whatever we are we belong together. Wherever we are, we will find each other. Whoever we are we are forever one.

There are studies that tell us that stress and lack of self-image, lack of self-esteem, severe dieting, binge dieting and binge eating can also be very damaging to a body and bring on various kinds of abnormalities.

I deal with this spiritual issue every day – either shooting or processing or sorting or discussing or having conversations – I’m in constant contact with it.

I also do my own processing, so it means a big commitment in lab time.

It is important to understand what are you trying to capture with a camera. What you want to use this tool for. It helps to begin to search for and concentrate on thematic photography.

Spock is definitely one of my best friends. When I put on those ears, it’s not like just another day. When I become Spock, that day becomes something special.

Rational discussion is useful only when there is a significant base of shared assumptions.

The universe is full of dead people who lived by assumption.

Begin challenging your own assumptions.

There is the greatest difference between presuming an opinion to be true, because, with every opportunity for contesting it, it has not been refuted, and assuming its truth for the purpose of not permitting its refutation.

All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility.

Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while or the light won’t come in. If you challenge your own, you won’t be so quick to accept the unchallenged assumptions of others.

Love can only consist in failure…on the fallacious assumption that it is a relationship. But it is not. It is a production of truth.
