Quotes 

• Vulcan Council President : You have surpassed the expectations of your instructors. Your final record is flawless, with one exception: I see that you have applied to Starfleet as well.

  Spock : It was logical to cultivate multiple options.

  Vulcan Council President : Logical, but unnecessary. You are hereby accepted to the Vulcan Science Academy. It is truly remarkable, Spock, that you have achieved so much despite your disadvantage. All rise.

  [the Vulcan Council stands in honor of Spock, who now looks slightly pissed] 

  Spock : If you would clarify, Minister: to what disadvantage are you referring?

  Vulcan Council President : Your human mother.

  Spock : Council... Ministers, I must decline.

  Vulcan Council President : No Vulcan has ever declined admission to this academy!

  Spock : Then, as I am half-human, your record remains untarnished.

  Sarek : Spock, you have made a commitment to honor the Vulcan way.

  Vulcan Council President : Why did you come before this council today? Was it to satisfy your emotional need to rebel?

  Spock : The only emotion I wish to convey is gratitude. Thank you, Ministers, for your consideration.

  [In a tone reserved for telling someone to 'Go to Hell'] 

  Spock : Live long and prosper.
