Gene Roddenberry idézet

Eugene Wesley Roddenberry amerikai forgatókönyvíró, producer és futurológus volt. Leghíresebb alkotása a Star Trek című science fiction sorozat. Az elsők között volt, akiket a világűrben temettek el.

Kezdetben jogi pályára szeretett volna lépni, de végül a repülés mellett döntött. A második világháborúban vadászrepülő-pilótaként harcolt, majd a háború befejeztével a Pan Am légitársaságnál dolgozott. Miután 1949-ben egyik útján gépe lezuhant és az utasok nagy része szörnyet halt, Roddenberry otthagyta munkáját és rendőrnek állt New Yorkban.

Rendőri karrierje alatt kezdett írással foglalkozni, majd néhány év elteltével felmondott a rendőrségen s teljes munkaidőben kezdett televíziós sorozatokba írni történeteket. Első fontosabb munkája a Have Gun, Will Travel című westernsorozat volt, melynek ő volt az egyik vezető írója. Wikipedia

Gene Roddenberry: Idézetek angolul

“Star Trek speaks to some basic human needs: that there is a tomorrow — it's not all going to be over with a big flash and a bomb; that the human race is improving; that we have things to be proud of as humans.”

Interview (20 September 1988), included in Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5, DVD 7, "Mission Logs: Year Five", "A Tribute to Gene Roddenberry", 0:26:09)
Kontextus: Star Trek speaks to some basic human needs: that there is a tomorrow — it's not all going to be over with a big flash and a bomb; that the human race is improving; that we have things to be proud of as humans. No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids — human beings built them, because they're clever and they work hard. And Star Trek is about those things.

“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.”

As quoted in In His Name (2010) by E. Christopher Reyes, p. 39
Kontextus: 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.

“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.”

As quoted in Can A Smart Person Believe in God? (2004) by Michael Guillen, Ch. 7 : Hope Springs Eternal, p. 90

“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.”

“Ancient astronauts didn't build the pyramids. Human beings built the pyramids, because they're clever and they work hard.”

Változat: No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids - human beings built them because they're clever and they work hard. And 'Star Trek' is about those things.

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

Shown at the end of the episode "Scorched Earth", no. 14 in the 3rd season of Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict, first aired on February 7, 2000.

“I think God is as much a basic ingredient in the universe as neutrons and positrons... God is, for lack of a better term, clout. This is the prime force, when we look around the universe.”

" Teaching Toward the 24th Century: Star Trek as Social Curriculum https://books.google.com/books?isbn=113558088X", Karen Anijar, 2004, p.38; quoted in Sweeney, 1995:8

“The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity.”

As quoted in Draper's Book of Quotations for the Christian World (1992) by Edythe Draper
