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.’

Nothing is what it seems on the surface of Heroes.

Cat's are unpredictable. It is a fine line between the cure, inquisitive and innocent creature resting on our lap and the hissing, spitting and deranged banshee it might become at any moment. This is why we're trying always to win their love.

We need to take our passion and effect real change at the local, state, and federal levels, to help elect progressive leaders, and to stem the tide of division, fear and scapegoating.
George Takei
We must remind ourselves that an assault on any one of our liberties and freedoms is an assault on all.
George Takei
Plays close, movies wrap and TV series eventually get cancelled, and we were cancelled in three season.
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
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 think we learn more from those times in our history where we stumbled as a democracy than we learn from the glorious chapters.
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
The only thing worse than human ignorance is human pride in that ignorance.
George Takei
We have to be vigilant about how the Trump administration may try to divide us from each other.
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.
George Takei
You know, I grew up in two American internment camps, and at that time I was very young.
George Takei
I'm a civic busybody and I've been blessed with an active career.

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.
