Zitate und Sprüche von Paul Stamets

Never hide who you are. That's the only way relationships work.

Being afraid of everything means you learn nothing.

Despite speaking 94 languages, there are times when words are not enough.

There are so many reasons to join Starfleet. We get to reach for the stars. We get to reach for the best in ourselves.

Sometimes, in war, the terrible choice is the only choice.

Sometimes, the only way to find out where you fit in is to step out of the routine, because sometimes where you really belong was waiting right around the corner all along.

When emotion brings us ghosts from the past, only logic can root us in the present.

Translation is not the essence of understanding.

There will be time to grieve. This is not that time.

I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived.

I have been, and always shall be, your friend. Live long and prosper.

No one can know the future. One can only follow one's instincts.

No matter how many stars there are in the sky. No matter how many galaxies swirl beyond our own. No matter what the mathematical probabilities, or the number of times we say, "we are not alone in the universe." Our first visit from the stars is always the province of children's stories and science fiction. Until one day, it isn't.

I've lived seven lifetimes, and I have never had a friend quite like you.

If I were in your shoes I would be looking for someone a little more entertaining, a little more fun, and maybe even a little more attainable.

Vanna: "It's hard to believe that something which is neither seen nor felt can do so much harm."
Kirk: "That's true. But an idea can't be seen or felt."

With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

The real world doesn't always adhere to logic. Sometimes down is up. Sometimes up is down. Sometimes when you're lost, you're found.

The Federation isn't just about ships and warp drive. It's about a vision and all those who believe in that vision.

Commander, laws change depending on who's making them. Cardassians one day, Federation the next... but justice is justice.

Just because we don't understand a life form doesn't mean that we can destroy it.

You can use logic to justify almost anything. That's its power. And its flaw.

Running may help for a little while, but sooner or later the pain catches up with you. And the only way to get rid of it is to stand your ground and face it.

Even in the darkest moments, you can always find something that will make you smile.

Compassion: that's the one things no machine ever had. Maybe it's the one thing that keeps men ahead of them.

I'm a Doctor, not a magician!

To all mankind - may we never find space so vast, planets so cold, heart and mind so empty that we cannot fill them with love and warmth.

Garth: "I may have you beaten to death."
Marta: "No, you won't, because I am the most beautiful woman on this planet."
Garth: "You're the only woman on this planet, you stupid cow!"

You're only as good as those around you. As long as you and your crew remain steadfast, you are never without hope.

There are some moments that haunt us all our lives. Moments upon which history turns.

Quark : "It's good to want things."
Odo : "Even things you can't have?"
Quark : "Especially things I can't have."

Dax : "You always had problems with the 'lose some' part of that."

Improve a mechanical device and you may double productivity. But improve man, you gain a thousandfold.

Sometimes, the universe allows for the making of unexpected memories.

The best way to know yourself is to know others.

One downside of our big brains is we're the only creatures who are aware that death is inevitable. Although, if you lined ten dogs in a row and shot them one by one, the dog on the end would probably get the gist by about dog four.
