Coming to King’s 8 April

 I’ll say this about auto-correct: It errs on the side of cozy... Failing to recognize “motets,” it gave me mittens.
And it made “Introitus” nutritious.

I am not Spock.

But given the choice, if I had to be someone else, I’d be Spock. If someone said, “You can have the choice of being any other TV character ever played,” I would choose Spock. I like him. I admire him. I respect him.

If someone could wave a magic wand and make him go away, disappear forever, I wouldn’t let them do it. I would choose to keep him alive. I don’’t really have that choice. He’ll be around anyway. But if I had that choice I would keep him alive. He stands for something that makes me feel good. Dignity and honesty and a lot more. And whatever of that rubs off on me makes me feel good.

But, I am not Spock.

— Leonard Nimoy, I Am Not Spock
