'I never knew what Spock was doing.
When he was a boy, he would disappear for days into the mountains. I asked him where he had gone, what he had done, he refused to tell me.
I insisted that he tell me. He would not. I forbade him to go. He ignored me. I punished him. He endured it silently.
But always he returned to the mountains. One might as well ask the river not to run.
But secretly, I admired him, the proud core of him that would not yield.' - sarek [to picard]
