Amanda Grayson quotes from Star Trek: The Original Series

Amanda Grayson

After all these years among humans, you still haven't learned to smile.

Spock

Humans smile with so little provocation.

Spock

It means to adopt a philosophy, a way of life, which is logical and beneficial. We cannot disregard that philosophy merely for personal gain, no matter how important that gain might be.

Amanda Grayson

When you were five years old and came home stiff-lipped, anguished, because the other boys tormented you, saying that you weren't really Vulcan, I watched you knowing that, inside... that the human part of you was crying, and I cried, too. There must be some part of me in you, some part that I still can reach. If being Vulcan is more important to you, then you'll stand there speaking rules and regulations from Starfleet and Vulcan philosophy and... and let your father die, and... then I'll hate you for the rest of my life.

Spock

Mother...

Amanda

Oh, go to him. Now. Please.

Spock

I cannot. [gets slapped by Amanda, who leaves the room]

Amanda Grayson

And you, Sarek. Would you also say thank you to your son?

I don't understand.

Amanda Grayson

For saving your life.

Spock acted in the only logical manner open to him. One does not thank logic, Amanda.

Amanda Grayson

Logic! Logic! I am sick to death of logic! Do you want to know how I feel about your logic?!

Spock

Emotional, isn't she?

She has always been that way.

Spock

Indeed? Why did you marry her?

At the time, it seemed the logical thing to do. [She smiles, realizing they're teasing her]
