Gene Roddenberry Quotes

I wanted to send a message to the television industry that excitement is not made of car chases Picture Quote #1

When you get into an airplane by yourself and take off, you find yourself in this lovely, three-dimensional world where you can go in any direction. There is no feeling any more exciting than that Picture Quote #1

They said God was on high and he controlled the world and therefore we must pray against Satan. Well, if God controls the world, he controls Satan. For me, religion was full of misstatements and reaches of logic that I just couldn’t agree with Picture Quote #1

For Star Trek proves, as faulty as individual episodes could be, is that the much-maligned common man and common woman has an enormous hunger for brotherhood. They are ready for the twenty-third century now, and they are light-years ahead of their petty governments and their visionless leaders Picture Quote #1

If this is your God, he’s not very impressive. He has so many psychological problems; he’s so insecure. He demands worship every seven days. He goes out and creates faulty humans and then blames them for his own mistakes. He’s a pretty poor excuse for a Supreme Being Picture Quote #1

I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will - and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain Picture Quote #1

PICARD: There is no greater challenge than the study of philosophy. WESLEY: But William James won’t be in my Starfleet exams. PICARD: The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship. WESLEY: But Starfleet Academy PICARD: It takes more. Open your mind to the past. Art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something Picture Quote #1

We stress humanity, and this is done at considerable cost. We can’t have a lot of dramatics that other shows get away with - promiscuity, greed, jealousy. None of those have a place in ‘Star Trek.’ Picture Quote #1

If ‘Trek’ is a hit, we’d love to do a series of films - a regular event. Look at James Bond’s films. They’ve been around since the early sixties Picture Quote #1

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before Picture Quote #1

The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity Picture Quote #1

We are on a journey to keep an appointment with whatever we are Picture Quote #1

For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain Picture Quote #1

Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all Picture Quote #1

We have within reach, now, the attainment of almost every dream of mankind Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Time is the fire in which we burn Picture Quote #1

In the 24th century there will be no hunger, there will be no greed, and all the children will know how to read Picture Quote #1

In a better world, I can do anything. I’ll be there in a better world. In a better world, they will not laugh at me or look down their nose at me Picture Quote #1

Why are we now going into space? Well, why did we trouble to look past the next mountain? Our prime obligation to ourselves is to make the unknown known. We are on a journey to keep an appointment with whatever we are Picture Quote #1

Let me end with an explanation of why I believe the move into space to be a human imperative. It seems to me obvious in too many ways to need listing that we cannot much longer depend upon our planet’s relatively fragile ecosystem to handle the realities of the human tomorrow. Unless we turn human growth and energy toward the challenges and promises of space, our only other choice may be the awful risk, currently demonstrable, of stumbling into a cycle of fratricide and regression which could end all chances of our evolving further or of even surviving Picture Quote #1

For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects Picture Quote #1

It isn’t all over; everything has not been invented; the human adventure is just beginning Picture Quote #1

Ancient astronauts didn’t build the pyramids. Human beings built the pyramids, because they’re clever and they work hard Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I have always been a fan of ‘Star Trek.’ I love Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the future Picture Quote #1
