“Why a journey into space? Because science is now learning that the infinite reaches of our universe probably teem with as much life and adventure as Earth's own oceans and continents. Our galaxy alone is so incredibly vast that the most conservative mathematical odds still add up to millions of planets almost identical to our own — capable of life, even intelligence and strange new civilizations. Alien beings that will range from the fiercely primitive to the incredibly exotic intelligence which will far surpass Mankind. (The Hollywood Reporter, Sept. 8, 1966)”

“I don't know if this has a moral or not. Maybe it's "Don't sit inside of soap cartons too long - unless you enjoy traveling.”
― Gene Roddenberry

“I became a reader - thank God I became a reader. I lived in a dream world because it was a hell of a lot better world.”
― Gene Roddenberry

“When dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating; you even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors. You just sit living and reliving other lives left behind in the thought records.
-- Vina, "The Menagerie" ("The Cage"), Star Trek, 1966”
