“Heed the benefit of my experience, young science officer. The thing you need to understand about James Tiberius Kirk is that he is a man of intense passions. Everything he does is the result of passion—the passion to explore, the passion to achieve and learn, the passion to help others and make a positive difference in the galaxy. Even that rigorous command discipline and emotional control you admire so much are the result of Jim’s passion, his need, to be the best captain he can be.”
