George Takei
People forget that stereotypes aren’t bad because they are always untrue. Stereotypes are bad because they are not always true. If we allow ourselves to judge another based on a stereotype, we have allowed a gross generalization to replace our own thinking.
George Takei
The only thing worse than human ignorance is human pride in that ignorance.
George Takei
If you have to make laws to hurt a group of people just to prove your morals and faith, then you have no true morals or faith to prove.
