Time is the fire in which we burn.
~ Gene Roddenberry
I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will - and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary
in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain.
~ Gene Roddenberry
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five year mission... to boldly go where no man has gone before.

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and
then blames them for his own mistakes.

The strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them.

A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it
and starts to wither away.

He was one of the world's best-selling authors of science fiction and was widely considered one of the masters of the genre. The first story Clarke sold professionally was "Rescue Party", written in March 1945. He obtained first class honors in Physics and Mathematics at the King's College, London, in 1948. Apart from his literary endeavours, however, Arthur C. Clarke is remembered as the inventor of communication satellite. In 1945 he published the technical paper "Extra-terrestrial Relays" laying down the principles of the satellite communication with satellites in geostationary orbits - a speculation realized 25 years later. His invention has brought him numerous honors, such as the 1982 Marconi International Fellowship and a gold medal of the Franklin Institute. Today, the geostationary orbit at 42,000 kilometers is named The Clarke Orbit by the International Astronomical Union.

There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.
