Quote #4
CHEKOV: You are under attack by superior Federation forces.
SYBOK: Do you realize what you've done? It wasn't bloodshed I wanted.
Sybok has no interest in inflicting any more suffering on the universe. This is important to remember. Although Sybok does his fair share of bad things on his certifiably insane quest to meet God, he's not the violent wacko he at times seems to be.
Quote #5
UHURA: Scotty, dear, he's not a madman.
SCOTTY: He's not?
UHURA: No. Sybok has simply put us in touch with feelings that we've always been afraid to express.
Even the crew members of Enterprise, who seem to have lived pretty good lives, fall under the spell of Sybok. This suggests that even the most put-together people suffer in their own unique ways, even if that's not always visible from the outside looking in.
Quote #6
MCCOY: How can I watch him suffer like this?
SYBOK: You're a doctor.
MCCOY: I'm his son.
In a terrible double whammy, McCoy's deepest emotional pain surrounds his father suffering from physical pain. His decision to help his father commit suicide to free him from that suffering still haunts him to this day.
