Quotes
-
Arev, aka Syrran : You haven't been truthful about your presence here.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Have you?
Arev, aka Syrran : Vulcans do not lie.
Captain Jonathan Archer : I've dealt with the High Command. Vulcans can lie and cheat with the best of them.
Arev, aka Syrran : The High Command does not follow Surak's true path. No wonder you Humans are their allies.
-
Arev, aka Syrran : Some say Surak's katra was found, and now is carried by a Syrrannite. So all those who meld with him may touch Surak's mind.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Syrrannites conduct mind melding?
Arev, aka Syrran : Surak tells us, it is the heritage of every Vulcan... even those who don't believe in the practice.
-
Arev, aka Syrran : [Archer has claimed to be a student of Surak's teachings] Very well, student of Surak. Who said "Logic is the cement of our civilization, with which we ascend from chaos using reason as our guide"?
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm new at this. You tell me.
Arev, aka Syrran : Something more basic, then. What is Kiri-kin-tha's First Law of Metaphysics?
Captain Jonathan Archer : I'm familiar with Newton's first law of motion. I imagine they're pretty much the same.

-
Arev, aka Syrran : [referring to T'Pol's amulet] Did your mother tell you the story?
Commander T'Pol : Of the IDIC?
Arev, aka Syrran : "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination" - words that are a mere shadow of its true meaning. Surak tells us that the story of the IDIC has no end. But it begins here, at Mount Seleya.
