Spock : | "Did you defeat him?" |
Old Spock : | "At great cost... yes." |

Spock : | "You can't afford the luxury of being anything less than perfect. If you do, they lose faith, and you lose command." | | to Kirk |
| TOS : The Enemy Within |
Spock : | "Being split in two halves is no theory with me, doctor. I have a human half, you see, as well as an alien half, submerged, constantly at war with each other. Personal experience, doctor. I survive it because my intelligence wins over both, makes them live together." | | to McCoy |
| TOS : The Enemy Within |

Spock : | "Why, thank you, doctor." |

Spock : | "I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose." | | to Trelane |
| TOS : The Squire of Gothos |

Spock : | "I have little to say about it, Captain, except that for the first time in my life... I was happy." | | to Kirk |
| TOS : This Side of Paradise |
Spock : | "I should say the Organians are as far above us on the evolutionary scale as we are above the amoeba." | | to Kirk |

| TOS : The City on the Edge of Forever |
Spock : | "Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled." | | to McCoy |
| TOS : Operation: Annihilate! |

| TOS : Friday's Child |
Spock : | "Miss Chapel." |
Chapel : | "Yes, Mister Spock?" |
Spock : | "I had a most startling dream. You were trying to tell me something... but I couldn't hear you. It would be illogical for us to protest against our natures, don't you think?" |
| talk about subtext... |
| TOS : Amok Time |
Spock : | "Would you beam down to the planet's surface and stand with me? There is a brief ceremony." |
Kirk : | "Is it permitted?" |
Spock : | "It is my right. By tradition the male is accompanied by his closest friends." |
Kirk : | "Thank you Mister Spock." |
Spock : | "I also request McCoy accompany me." |
McCoy : | "I shall be honoured, sir." |
| TOS : Amok Time |
Spock : | "He does not know! I will do... what I must... T'Pau, but not with him! His blood does not burn. He is my friend!" |
T'Pau : | "It is said thy Vulcan blood is thin. Are thee Vulcan, or are thee human?" |
| TOS : Amok Time |
Spock : | "I see no logic in preferring Stonn over me." |
T'Pring : | "You have become much known among our people, Spock. Almost a legend. And as the years went by, I came to know that I did not want to be the consort of a legend. But by the laws of our people, I could only divorce you by the Kal-if-fee. There was also Stonn who wanted very much to be my consort. And I wanted him. If your Captain were victor, he would not want me, so I would have Stonn. If you were victor, you would free me because I had dared to challenge, and again I would have Stonn. But if you did not free me, it would be the same. For you would be gone. And I would have your name and your property, and Stonn would still be there." |
Spock : | "Logical. Flawlessly logical." |
T'Pring : | "I am honoured." |
| TOS : Amok Time |
Spock : | "Stonn; she is yours. After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true." | | to Stonn |
| TOS : Amok Time |
Spock : | "Live long, T'Pau and prosper." |
T'Pau : | "Live long and prosper, Spock." |
Spock : | "I shall do neither. I have killed my Captain... and my friend." |
| The first time this phrase is used. |
| TOS : Amok Time |
Kirk : | "He gave his life in an attempt to save others. Not the worst way to go." |
Spock : | "Indeed, Captain. I presume your log will show Commodore Decker died in the line of duty." |
Kirk : | "Indeed it shall, Mr. Spock." |
| TOS : The Doomsday Machine |
Spock : | "Humans and humanoids make up only a small percentage of the life forms we know of." | | to Kirk |

| TOS : Wolf in the Fold |
Spock : | "The good doctor was concerned that the Vaalians achieve true human stature. I submit there is no cause for worry. They've taken the first step, they've learned to kill." | | to Kirk |
| TOS : The Apple |
Spock : | "May I point out, that I had an opportunity to observe your counterparts here quite closely. They where brutal, savage, unprincipled, uncivilised, traitorous. In every way splendid examples of Homo sapiens, the very flower of humanity. I found them quite refreshing." | | to Kirk and McCoy |
| TOS : Mirror, Mirror |
McCoy : | "There's something wrong about a man who never smiles, whose conversation never varies from the routine of the job, and who won't talk about his background." |
Spock : | "I see." |
McCoy : | "Spock, I mean that it's odd for a non-Vulcan. The ears make all the difference." |
Spock : | "I find your argument strewn with gaping defects in logic." |
McCoy : | "Maybe, but you can't evaluate a man by logic alone. Besides, he has avoided two appointments that I've made for his physical exam without reason." |
Spock : | "That's not at all surprising, Doctor. He's probably terrified of your beads and rattles." |
| TOS : I, Mudd |
Spock : | "Logic is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell bad. Are you sure your circuits are registering correctly? Your ears are green." | | on logic |
| TOS : I, Mudd |
Bones : | "You're going to leave here without them and run off on some wild goose chase halfway across the galaxy just because you found a discrepancy in a hydrogen cloud?" |
Spock : | "Doctor I am chasing the Captain, Lieutenant Uhura and Ensign Chekov, not some wild aquatic fowl." |
| TOS : The Gamesters of Triskelion |
Scotty : | "Captain, thank heaven!" |
Spock : | "Mr Scott, there was no deity involved. It was my cross-circuiting to B that recovered them." |
McCoy : | "Well then, thank pictchforks and pointed ears." |
| TOS : Obsession |
Spock : | "I've noticed that about your people. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart, yet how little room there seems to be in yours." | | to McCoy |
| TOS : The Immunity Syndrome |
Oxmyx : | "Nobody helps nobody but himself." |
Spock : | "Sir, you are employing a double negative." |
| TOS : A Piece of the Action |
Spock : | "Captain, you are an excellent star ship commander, but as a taxi driver... you leave much to be desired." | | to Kirk |
| TOS : A Piece of the Action |
Spock : | "I would advise yas to keep dialin', Oxmyx!" | | threatening Oxmyx with a gun |
| TOS : A Piece of the Action |
Spock : | "Yes, Humans are very peculiar. I often find them unfathomable, but an interesting psychological study." | | to Rojan |
| TOS : By Any Other Name |
Rojan : | "I told her to stay away from him." |
Spock : | "It would appear, sir, that you have little control over her. Or perhaps Captain Kirk has more." |
| TOS : By Any Other Name |
Spock : | "You should make a very convincing Nazi." | | to Kirk |
| TOS : Patterns of Force |
Spock : | "Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them." | | to Kirk |

Wesley : | "Our compliments to the M-5 unit, and regards to Captain Dunsel. Wesley out." |
McCoy : | "Dunsel? Who the blazes is Captain Dunsel? What does it mean, Jim? Spock? What does it mean?" |
Spock : | "Dunsel, Doctor, is a term used by Midshipmen at Starfleet Academy. It refers to a part which serves no useful purpose." |
| TOS : The Ultimate Computer |
Spock : | "Most illogical. Of all people, he should have known how the computer would perform. Of course, the M-5 itself has not behaved logically." |
McCoy : | "Please, Spock, do me a favour and don't say it's fascinating." |
Spock : | "No. But it is... interesting." |
| TOS : The Ultimate Computer |
Spock : | "I am most impressed with the technology, Captain. Doctor Daystrom has created a mirror image of his own mind." | | to Kirk |
| TOS : The Ultimate Computer |
Spock : | "It would be most interesting to impress your memory engrams on a computer, doctor. The resulting torrential flood of illogic would be most entertaining." | | to McCoy |
| TOS : The Ultimate Computer |
Spock : | "Current Earth crises would fill a tape bank, Captain. There will be an important assassination today, an equally dangerous government coup in Asia, and, this could be highly critical, the launching of an orbital nuclear warhead platform by the United States countering a similar launch by other powers." | | to Kirk |
| TOS : Assignment: Earth |
Spock : | "Physical reality is consistent with universal laws. When the laws do not operate, there is no reality." | | to McCoy |
| TOS : Spectre of the Gun |

Romulan commander : | "Why would you do this to me? What are you that you could do this?" |
Spock : | "First officer of the Enterprise." |
| TOS : The Enterprise Incident |
Romulan commander : | "Allow me to rephrase. Will you join me for dinner? |
Spock : | "I am honoured, Commander. Are the guards also invited?" |
| TOS : The Enterprise Incident |
Romulan commander : | "You are a superior being. Why do you not command?" |
Spock : | "I do not desire a ship of my own." |
Romulan commander : | "Or is it that no one has offered you, a Vulcan, that opportunity?" |
| TOS : The Enterprise Incident |
Romulan commander : | "You must have your own ship." |
Spock : | "Commander, shall we speak plainly? It is you who desperately need a ship. You want the Enterprise." |
Romulan commander : | "Of course. It would be a great achievement for me to bring home the Enterprise intact. It would broaden the scope of my powers greatly. It would be the achievement of a lifetime. And it would open equal opportunities for you." |
| TOS : The Enterprise Incident |
Romulan commander : | "You have nothing in Starfleet to which to return. I offer, we offer you an alternative. We will find a place for you, if you wish it." |
Spock : | "A place?" |
Romulan commander : | "With me. Romulan women are not like Vulcan females. We are not dedicated to pure logic and the sterility of non-emotion. Our people are warriors. Often savage. But we are also many other pleasant things." |
| TOS : The Enterprise Incident |
Romulan commander : | "Now one final step to make the occasion complete. You will lead a small party of Romulans aboard the Enterprise, and there you will take your rightful place as its commander. And you will lead the ship to a Romulan port, with my flagship at its side." |
Spock : | "Yes, of course. But not just this moment. An hour from now will do even better... would it not, Commander?" |
Romulan commander : | "Yes. Yes, it will." |
| TOS : The Enterprise Incident |
Spock : | "Deck two. It is regrettable that you were made an unwilling passenger. It was not intentional. All the Federation wanted was the cloaking device." |
Romulan commander : | "The Federation. And what did you want?" |
Spock : | "It was my only interest when I boarded your vessel." |
Romulan commander : | "And that's exactly all you came away with." |
Spock : | "You underestimate yourself, Commander." |
| TOS : The Enterprise Incident |
Spock : | "Without followers, evil cannot spread." | | to Kirk |
| TOS : And the Children Shall Lead |
Spock : | "At critical moments men sometimes see exactly what they wish to see." | | to McCoy |

Spock : | "Indeed, Doctor, the young lady did show a marked preference for your company." |
McCoy : | "Now, nobody can blame her for that, can they?" |
| TOS : For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky |
Spock : | "Those who hate and fight must stop themselves, Doctor. Otherwise it is not stopped." | | to McCoy |
| TOS : Day of the Dove |
| TOS : That Which Survives |
Spock : | "All that matters to them is their hate." |
Uhura : | "Do you suppose that's all they ever had, sir?" |
Kirk : | "No. But that's all they have left." |
| TOS : Let that be Your Last Battlefield |
Spock : | "We must acknowledge once and for all that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis." | | to bridge crew |
| TOS : The Mark of Gideon |
Spock : | "Every life comes to an end when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted." |

Kirk : | "I thought Vulcan's didn't have a sense of humor." |
Spock : | "We don't, Captain." |

Spock : | "Each of us, at some time in our lives, turns to someone, a father, a brother, a God; and asks 'Why am I here? Was this all I was meant to be?'" | | to Kirk |

| ST-TWOK : The Wrath of Khan |
| ST-TSFS : The Search for Spock |
Sarek : | "As I recall, I opposed your enlistment in Starfleet. ...It is possible that judgment was incorrect. ...Your associates are people of good character." |
Spock : | "They are my friends." |
Sarek : | "Yes, of course." |
| ST-TSFS : The Search for Spock |
Sarek : | "Do you have a message for your mother?" |
Spock : | "Yes. Tell her ...I feel fine." |

| ST-TVH : The Voyage Home |
McCoy : | "It's a song, you green-blooded Vulcan! You sing it! The words aren't important, what's important is that you have a good time!" |
Spock : | "Ah, I am sorry Doctor. Were we having a good time?" |
McCoy : | "God I liked him better before he died!" |

Kirk : | "Don't believe them! Don't trust them!" |
Spock : | "They are dying." |
Kirk : | "Let them die!" |
| ST-TUC : The Undiscovered Country |
Spock : | "Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end." | | to Valeris |
| ST-TUC : The Undiscovered Country |
Spock : | "You have to shoot. If you are logical, you have to shoot." |
Valeris : | "I do not want to..." |
Spock : | "What you want is irrelevant, what you have chosen is at hand!" |
| ST-TUC : The Undiscovered Country |
Spock : | "Is it possible that we two, you and I, have grown so old and so inflexible that we have outlived our usefullness?" | | to Kirk |
| ST-TUC : The Undiscovered Country |
Spock : | "In your own way you are as stubborn as another captain of the Enterprise I once knew." |
Picard : | "Then I am in good company, sir." |
