The Strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them.
We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.
Wir müssen uns schon nach dem Sinn fragen, wenn ein allwissender, allmächtiger Gott zuerst fehlerhafte Menschen erschafft und sie dann für seine Fehler bestraft.
If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear.
Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms. […] If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there.
It is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are. It does not matter that we will not reach our ultimate goal. The effort itself yields its own reward.
It isn't all over; everything has not been invented; the human adventure is just beginning.
For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain. If people need religion, ignore them and maybe they will ignore you, and you can go on with your life. It wasn't until I was beginning to do Star Trek that the subject of religion arose. What brought it up was that people were saying that I would have a chaplain on board the Enterprise. I replied, "No, we don't.
It speaks to some basic human needs, that
there is a tomorrow -- it's not all going to be over in a big flash and a
bomb, that the human race is improving, that we have things to be proud
of as humans. No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids --
human beings built them because they're clever and they work hard. And Star Trek is about those things.
Time is the fire in which we burn.
Reality is incredibly larger, infinitely
more exciting, than the flesh and blood vehicle we travel in here. If
you read science fiction, the more you read it the more you realize that
you and the universe are part of the same thing. Science knows still
practically nothing about the real nature of matter, energy, dimension,
or time; and even less about those remarkable things called life and
thought. But whatever the meaning and purpose of this universe, you are a
legitimate part of it. And since you are part of the all that is, part
of its purpose, there is more to you than just this brief speck of
existence. You are just a visitor here in this time and this place, a
traveler through it.
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five year mission ... to boldly go where no man has gone before.
