This has been my favourite quote since I first read Peter Pan at the tender age of 7. Hearing My hero Captain Kirk utter the words was more magical than fairy dust “Course heading, Captain?” “Second star to the right…and straight on till morning.” Chekov and Kirk

He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or an empty one…and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this…of all the souls I have encountered in my travels; his was the most ….human.”
