SPOCK (gently) On my world the nights are very long. My people know there is always time enough for everything. You could come with me for a rest. You would feel comfortable there. KIRK (hopelessly) All the time in the world… SPOCK And filled with tomorrows.

mr. spock was never unbuttoned, kept himself shadowy, unfulfilled, and so we loved him. and poor captain kirk, going from blonde to blonde, would never understand that he himself loved mr. spock truly, hopelessly, forever.

He can't like boys. He can't, because that's just one more thing wrong with him. It's this thought that breaks the dam, and has him dissolving into ugly sobs, curling up and burying his face in his knees.

when love is unreliable and you are a child, you assume that it is the nature of love to be unreliable. children do not find fault with their parents until later. in the beginning the love you get is the love that sets. i did not know that human love could be depended upon.

i watch him in the kitchen, and i think of how much it hurts to love somebody. how deep the hurt is, how almost unbearable. it’s not the love that hurts; it’s the possibility of anything happening to the object of your love.

He loves to love. It’s something he’s always known about himself. Like a bird takes to the sky with wings widespread, he takes to the world with his heart on his sleeve. Open and raw and vulnerable, pumping pint after precious pint of something warm, red and immutably permanent.

And you don't even remember it, because it was so unremarkable to you, to be so kind to someone. I hated you for that, you know. For being so thoughtlessly sweet, for no fucking reason except that you could, while I sat there turning it over and over in my head.

He won’t. He accepts that too. Nothingness is peaceful. He likes it here. He’ll stay a little longer, and then he’ll remember. And maybe he’ll find nothingness again. Find a place with no ceiling or floors, with endless skies and bottomless oceans.

People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.
