“But when we came out of camp, that’s when I first realized that being in camp, that being Japanese-American, was something shameful.”

What’s needed today, now, more than ever, is ‘Star Peace’ for there is an ominous, mutual threat to all science fiction. It’s called ‘Twilight’. And it is really, really bad.

If you have to make laws to hurt a group of people just to prove your morals and faith, then you have no true morals or faith to prove.

The large majority of faith-based people are decent, fair-minded people. We should not characterize people of faith as the adversaries of GLBT equality.

We must remind ourselves that an assault on any one of our liberties and freedoms is an assault on all.

Our differences in beliefs do not truly separate us, or elevate us over others. Rather, they highlight the rich tapestry that is humanity.

Pioneering is never done in front of cheerleaders urging on a roaring grandstand of popular approval.

Social media is like ancient Egypt: writing things on walls and worshiping cats.

I myself am a Buddhist, not a Christian. But I cannot help but think that if Christ ran a public establishment, it would be open to all, and He would be the last to refuse service to anyone. It is, simply put, the most un-Christian of notions.

You know, when a man is raped you never hear about what he was wearing.

I think we learn more from those times in our history where we stumbled as a democracy than we learn from the glorious chapters.

I have two passions in my life. One is to raise the awareness of the internment of Japanese-American citizens. My other passion is the theater.

The only thing worse than human ignorance is human pride in that ignorance.

Facebook itself has an interest in having great content so that its users keep coming back.

It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.

STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.

And it seems to me important for a country, for a nation to certainly know about its glorious achievements but also to know where its ideals failed, in order to keep that from happening again.

We who survived the Camps are not true witnesses.

I’m Japanese, and I’m also white American, and neither camp wants me in their camp.

This was an extremely difficult decision as I take great pride in representing our country. I know that I owe it to my USA Basketball teammates to be totally invested in the experience. After going through training camp with USAB.

Root out the counter revolutionaries without mercy, lock up suspicious characters in concentration camps… Shirkers will be shot, regardless of past service.

I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.

In the German concentration camps, Jews wore yellow stars while homosexuals wore pink lambdas.

Despite the hundreds of attempts, police terror and the concentration camps have proved to be more or less impossible subjects for the artist.

I have never believed in being part of any one group or camp.
