“Leonard Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. He was 83.”

 

From Reddit:

“One of his last tweets. Pretty perfect:

@TheRealNimoy: A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP”

Let us remember him by his funny Simpsons moment:

“I think it’s my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may.” ~ Leonard Nimoy

“We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted, in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or 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.” ~ Captain James T. Kirk

Via New York Times:

“His zeal to entertain and enlighten reached beyond “Star Trek” and crossed genres.”

Was Emotion at the Core of Spock’s Brilliance?
