To the Loneliest One- "There is in certain living souls A quality of loneliness unspeakable So great it must be shared As company is shared by lesser beings. Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this That in immensity There is one lonelier than you." [Theodore Sturgeon- 1918-1985]
Theodore Sturgeon IS probably my personal Favourite Fiction writer of them all. Science, Fantastic, Horror, Incl. His short stories I love the best. He was barely 19 when he starting publishing some great works. Stories like "The Other Man" "The Other Celia" "It" and "Killdozer" are among the more memorable stories. I believe it was he, who came up with the concept of "Pon Farr", the Vulcan reproductive urge, on the Star Trek Saga. Saucer Of Loneliness, is one of the better Episodes on X Minus One.

Great story by Theodore Sturgeon. Very touching.
To the Loneliest One-
"There is in certain living souls
A quality of loneliness unspeakable
So great it must be shared
As company is shared by lesser beings.
Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this
That in immensity
There is one lonelier than you."
[Theodore Sturgeon- 1918-1985]
Beautiful. I still cry every time I hear this.
I agree, Shore Leave was one of the best 1960's Star Trek episodes ever. Sturgeon was a master craftsman with an extraordinary imagination.
I love this story, so touching.

Cyan Blackflower this is my fave episode.
I have always liked him also😊
Ted wrote the greatest thing I ever saw on Star Trek, the episode "Shore Leave" in '66. What a wonderful concept.
Sweet story worth a listening.
THE quote always squeezes' my heart :'(
sad, but moving.
Loneliness would be unbearable if not for the companionship of hope
later it was made into an episode of the new twilight zone circa mid-1980s.
