If out of sight is out of mind, then how does absence make the heart grow fonder?

[Private to T'Pol]

I have an odd question for you.

The saying says fonder. But I agree with your interpretation.

The saying was surely meant to give hope to those who have none. It always gave me such little comfort to hear it spoken.

So you're one of those, out of sight out of mind people?

No, sir. I am someone who is haunted by that which is gone from my sight.

Do great minds think alike or do idiots seldom differ?

Idiots seldom differ, of course.

Then what are you saying about great minds?

Great minds rarely agree on anything at all.

I doubt that. I have a great mind and I agree with other great minds at least half of the time.

Half the time. You just proved my point, sir.

Half is more than rarely.
