Happy Birthday Leonard Nimoy (Mar 26, 1931 – Feb 27, 2015).
A few memorable quotes, as spoken by Spock, which are very relevant in these trying times of “illogic and foolish emotions” in MAGA world -
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
In critical moments, men sometimes see exactly what they wish to see.
Without followers, evil cannot spread.
When there is no emotion, there is no motive for violence.
“Live long and prosper.”

Here is a familiar pic of Leonard Nimoy (Happy Birthday), in bell-bottoms, 49 years ago, with his friends and colleagues, when the creator and cast members of Star Trek attended the September 1976 rollout of space shuttle Enterprise.
In 1981, Leonard Nimoy starred in Vincent, a one-man show which he wrote, directed and produced, and later published as a book. It was based on the life of artist Vincent van Gogh, in which Nimoy played Van Gogh's brother Theo.
How many of you have seen this masterful play or read the book?

@AkaSci I saw bits of the Kirk Douglas Film and that segment of Kurosawa’s Dreams, and that’s about it. Not much Theo in either.
Oh, and the time Doctor Who tried to cheer Vinnie up.
@AkaSci
Live long and be kind.
