THE WAYS OF FOLDING SPACE & FLYING (Film Still)

“We’re the same. We share the same history, the same heritage, the same lives. We’re tied together beyond any untying. Man or woman, it makes no difference. We’re human. We couldn’t escape from each other even if we wanted to. That’s how you do it, Lieutenant. By remembering who and what you are. A bit of flesh and blood afloat in a universe without end. The only thing that’s truly yours is the rest of humanity.”
— from Captain Kirk’s conversation with Carolyn Palamas

(Star Trek, “Who Mourns For Adonais?,” Season 2, Episode 2, directed by Marc Daniels, written by Gene
