I have always been a fan of 'Star Trek.' I love Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future.

I think reading is part of the birthright of the human being

I fly my geek flag proudly. Absolutely.

As long as we are engaged in storytelling that moves the culture forward, it doesn't matter what format it is.

I'm enormously proud of the fact that Star Trek has really not just sparked an interest, but encouraged, a few generations of people to go into the sciences.

For me, literacy means freedom. For the individual and for society.

I get most of my news updates from electronic and social media.

In a society that functions optimally, those who can should naturally want to provide for those who can't. That's how it's designed to work. I truly believe we're here to take care of one another.

Maturity is a series of shattered illusions.

Libraries do one thing that no other institution does and that's provide access to all.

Reading a hard copy book, and reading a book on an iPad are slightly different experiences. What they both have in common though is that you must engage your imagination in the process.

Life leaves no one behind unless one's beliefs do.

I always have my own opinion before my boss says his.

We didn't talk much, and the silence hung like a silk curtain, light and lovely.

Gabby, I told you I'd give you space, but I never said I wouldn't fill your space with flowers. Brad

I did not take off our clothes, and did not enter you, and did not touch you. However, we practice love.

I'm not perfect, ... But i'm enough

What people speak of as adventure is something nobody in his right mind would seek out, and it becomes romantic only when one is safely at home.

We are more solicitous that men speak of us, than how they speak.

When your ideas about yourself change, so does your experience.

Nothing shakes my opinion of a book. Nothing -- nothing. Only perhaps if it's the book of a young person -- or of a friend -- no, even so, I think myself infallible.
