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.’

Do your duty as an American, and as a citizen of the galaxy... Vote!

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.
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.

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
The word today is detained, not interred. People are being detained with no due process. They don't know what the charges are, why they're being detained. Simply because they have an Arab name or some association, but there are no charges.
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
But when we came out of camp, that's when I first realized that being in camp, that being Japanese-American, was something shameful.
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.
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
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
I'm a civic busybody and I've been blessed with an active career.
George Takei
We have to be vigilant about how the Trump administration may try to divide us from each other.
George Takei
Plays close, movies wrap and TV series eventually get cancelled, and we were cancelled in three season.
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 starship Enterprise was a metaphor starship Earth, and the vision was that the strength of this starship lay in its diversity.
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.'
