Journey to Babel Quotes

• (Amanda) "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) "Sarek understands my reason."

• (Amanda) "Well, he, uh, he did have a pet Sehlat he was very fond of."
• (McCoy) "Sehlat?"
