His name is 'Mr. Spock.' And the first view of him can be almost frightening - a face so heavy-lidded and satanic you might almost expect him to have a forked tail. Probably half Martian, he has a slightly reddish complexion and semi-pointed ears.
From Gene Roddenberry
The strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them.
'Star Trek' was an attempt to say humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in lifeforms.
I'd been an Army bomber pilot and fascinated by the Navy and, particularly, the story of the Enterprise, which at Midway really turned the tide in the whole war in our favor. I'd always been proud of that ship and wanted to use the name.
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.
Earth is the nest, the cradle, and we'll move out of it.
No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids - human beings built them, because they're clever and they work hard.
Time is the fire in which we burn.
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.
We stress humanity, and this is done at considerable cost. We can't have a lot of dramatics that other shows get away with - promiscuity, greed, jealousy. None of those have a place in 'Star Trek.'
