Quotes 

• Spock : There are many who are... uncomfortable with what we have created. It is almost a biological rebellion, a profound revulsion against the planned communities, the programming, the sterilized, artfully balanced atmospheres. They... hunger for an Eden where spring comes.

• Spock : Miss Galliulin. It is my sincere wish that you do not give up your search for Eden. I have no doubt but that you will find it, or make it yourselves.

• [Adam, a space hippie, has heard Spock play on his Vulcan harp] 

  Adam : Hey, how about a session, you and us? It would SOUND! That's what I came for. I wanted to ask... you know, great white captain upstairs, but he don't reach us. But, uh, would he shake on a session? I mean, we wanna cooperate, like ya ask, so I'm askin'.

  Spock : If I understand you correctly, I believe the answer might be "yes."

• Spock : [to Kirk]  There is no insanity in what they seek. I made a promise which I should like to keep. With your permission, I must locate Eden.

• Captain James T. Kirk : Spock... what does 'Herbert' mean?

  Spock : It is, um... uh, somewhat, um... uncomplimentary, Captain. Herbert was a minor official - notorious for his rigid and limited patterns of thought.

• Spock : They regard themselves as aliens in their own worlds - a condition with which I am somewhat familiar.

• [Captain Kirk's attempts to communicate with the space hippies are futile, due to the hppies being uncooperative. Spock's offer to communicate with the group is granted by the flummoxed Kirk] 

  Mr. Spock : [holding his hands to form an circle symbol]  One.

  Sevrin : [Sevrin and Adam look up and form the same circle symbol with their hands]  We are one.

  Mr. Spock : One is the beginning.

  Adam : Are you one, Herbert?

  Mr. Spock : [dead-panned]  I am not Herbert.

  Adam : [smiles]  He's not Herbert. We reach!
