It isn’t all over; everything has not been invented; the human adventure is just beginning. — Gene Roddenberry (via wayofthepeacefulwarrior)

In a part of space where there are few rules, its more important than ever that we hold fast to our own. In a region where shifting allegiances are commonplace, we have to have something stable to rely on. And we do… The principles and ideals of the Federation. As far as I’m concerned, those are the best allies we could have.”

- Kathryn Janeway, Star Trek: Voyager: 2x14, Alliances

I am female. I was born that way. I have had those feelings… those longings… all my life. It is not unnatural. I am not sick because I feel this way. I do not need to be helped, and I do not need to be cured. What I do need — what all of those like me need — is your understanding and your compassion. We do not injure you in any way. And yet we are scorned, and attacked. And all because we are different. What we do is no different from what you do. We talk and laugh… we complain about work and we wonder about growing old… we talk about our families, and we worry about the future…We cry with each other when things seem hopeless. All the loving things that you do with each other… that’s what we do. And for that, we are called misfits, and deviants… and criminals. What right do you have to punish us? What right do you have to change us? What makes you think you can dictate how people love each other?

Moments like this, messages like this one, are probably at the top of my list of reasons I’m proud to be part of Star Trek.

“There are time when modesty and humility are quite illogical.” - T’pol

There was an episode, one of my favorite moments in Star Trek, when Captain Kirk looks over the cosmos and says, ‘Somewhere out there someone is saying the three most beautiful words in any language.’ Of course you heart sinks and you think it’s going to be, ‘I love you’ or whatever. He says, ‘Please help me.’ What a philosophically fantastic idea, that vulnerability and need is a beautiful thing.
