"We are not accorded the luxury of choosing the women we fall in love with. Do you think Sirella is anything like the woman I thought that I'd marry? She is a prideful, arrogant, mercurial woman, who shares my bed far too infrequently for my taste. And yet... I love her, deeply. We Klingons often tout our prowess in battle, our desire for glory and honor above all else. But how hollow is the sound of victory without someone to share it with. Honor gives little comfort to a man alone in his home... and in his heart." General Martok Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (TV Series)You Are Cordially Invited) (1997)
Spock: Emotional, isn't she?
Sarek: She has always been that way.
Spock: Indeed. Why did you marry her?
Sarek: At the time it seemed the logical thing to do.

Doctor McCoy: [referring to Kirk] ... because you'll never know the things that love can drive a man to - the ecstasies, the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures and the glorious victories. All of these things you'll never know, simply because the word "love" isn't written into your book. Good night, Spock.

Yep.
Whatever happened to Plutarch’s Lives, as used to be read and UNDERSTOOD by 1870’s cowboys around early evening campfires?
Star Tredk’s limited civilizational attibutes seem an inadequate fictional substitute for the facts, logic, rationality and reason of classical writers and historians in regard to the vast universe of issues enclosed within the study of civilization and life itself.”Trekkies” are limited to the fictional scope of “Trekkie dialogue”.
1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. 3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain-these three. The greatest of these is love.
Far more likely to be read around the campfire.

I’d rather be alone for the right reasons, that with someone for the wrong.
Just something I’ve learned the hard way.
LONDO: ...My shoes are too tight.
VIR: ...Excuse me?
LONDO: Something my father said. He was... Old, very old at the time. I went into his room, and he was sitting, alone in the dark, crying. So I asked him what was wrong, and he said, “My shoes are too tight. But it doesn’t matter, because I have forgotten how to dance.” I never understood what that meant until now. My shoes are too tight, and I have forgotten how to dance.
Pause
VIR: ...I don’t understand.
LONDO: Smiling wistfully Nor should you.
Don’t forget this, from the episode where Spock loses his mind over the girl.
“Someday you may find that having is not as much fun as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.” - Spock

I think there were episodes where Uhura and nurse Christine were showing him quite a bit of attention too.
