Gene Roddenberry

…nuclear warfare is not necessary to cause a breakdown of our society. You take a large city like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago-their water supply comes from hundreds of miles away and any interruption of that, or food, or power for any period of time, you’re going to have riots in the streets.

In a better world, I can do anything. I’ll be there in a better world. In a better world, they will not laugh at me or look down their nose at me.
