More quotes by George Takei
I had a really unusual, remarkably unusual father because he, in our family, was the one that suffered the most. He was the one that explained American democracy to me. He said, ‘Our democracy is a people’s democracy and it can be as great as people can be, and it can be great… but we are also fallible human beings.’
George Takei
This is supposed to be a participatory democracy and if we're not in there participating then the people that will manipulate and exploit the system will step in there.
George Takei
As the old saying goes, I was simply looking for fan love, in Alderaan places.
George Takei
You know, I grew up in two American internment camps, and at that time I was very young.
George Takei
Good grief. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, and at one another, in good spirit and without malice, then what fun can be left? If we must withhold all ribbing in the name of protecting everyone’s feelings, then we truly are a toothless society. We will reach what I call “the lowest common denominator of butthurt.
George Takei
There is more story in a minor character like Boba Fett than there is in all the clutter of various vampires in the Twilight franchise.
George Takei
If leadership requires a fired-up sense of purpose and imagination, it also demands a profound connection to the society to be led.
George Takei
Our differences in beliefs do not truly separate us, or elevate us over others. Rather, they highlight the rich tapestry that is humanity.
George Takei
We must remind ourselves that an assault on any one of our liberties and freedoms is an assault on all.
George Takei
I have two passions in my life. One is to raise the awareness of the internment of Japanese-American citizens. My other passion is the theater.
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 starship Enterprise was a metaphor starship Earth, and the vision was that the strength of this starship lay in its diversity.
George Takei
Unfriending me when I didn’t even know we were friends? It’s like breaking wind when you’re home alone. If I can’t smell you, knock yourself out.
George Takei
I'm a preservationist, I believe in preserving history intact, but I also enjoy the technological advances which have been made.
George Takei
I myself am a Buddhist, not a Christian. But I cannot help but think that if Christ ran a public establishment, it would be open to all, and He would be the last to refuse service to anyone. It is, simply put, the most un-Christian of notions.
George Takei
You know, when a man is raped you never hear about what he was wearing.
George Takei
Well, it gives, certainly to my father, who is the one that suffered the most in our family, and understanding of how the ideals of a country are only as good as the people who give it flesh and blood.
George Takei
Today we have the economic collapse that the whole planet is suffering, but there is hope, and that's what's going to keep us moving ahead.
George Takei
By seeing a same-sex couple in ordinary situations, that it might make people think twice about if they have, you know, questions about acceptance of LGBT equality, it's one way to just say that, you know, 'We're members of your family and gay people are like anybody else.'
George Takei
I spent my boyhood behind the barbed wire fences of American internment camps and that part of my life is something that I wanted to share with more people.
