“In the physics of information, known as Digital Physics, all natural phenomena and physical processes are thoroughly computable, with the laws of Nature acting as master algorithms factoring in undeniable universality of quantum logic... The centrality of observers and the underlying code to the natural world has been the guiding principle of digital theosophy.”

“Some people view Gene as a man with a wild futuristic utopian fantasy, but that’s too simple. Star Trek did not promise that people would magically become inherently “better,” but that they would progress, always reaching for their highest potential and noblest goals, even if it took centuries of taking two steps forward and one step back. Ideally, humankind would be guided in its quest by reason and justice. The ultimate futility of armed conflict, terrorism, dictatorial rule, prejudice, disregard for the environment, and exercising power for its own sake was demonstrated time and again”

“As I soon learned, this was the dream to which Gene had alluded so often in the past. Interestingly, though he’d said many times before that there might be something in this for me, that day I won a part that had yet to be created. It was only after I’d been brought on board, and Gene and I conceived and created her, that Uhura was born. Many times through the years I’ve referred to Uhura as my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter of the twenty-third century. Gene and I agreed that she would be a citizen of the United States of Africa. And her name, Uhura, is derived from Uhuru, which is Swahili for “freedom.” According to the “biography” Gene and I developed for my character, Uhura was far more than an intergalactic telephone operator. As head of Communications, she commanded a corps of largely unseen communications technicians, linguists, and other specialists who worked in the bowels of the Enterprise, in the “comm-center.” A linguistics scholar and a top graduate of Starfleet Academy, she was a protégée of Mr. Spock, whom she admired for his daring, his intelligence, his stoicism, and especially his logic. We even had outlined exactly where Uhura had grown up, who her parents were, and why she had been chosen over other candidates for the Enterprise’s five-year mission.”

“سارعت لأقتنيك .. وبحثت في طياتك عن الخبر .. تهاوت صفحاتك وتصبغت أطرافي بالألم .. وفي النهاية تخليت عنك لإمرأة تصنع منك منظف لزجاج قلبها لا يترك أثرا .. لكنني اليوم اكتشفت أنني اقتطعت منك تلك القصاصة التي كتب عليها لمن يهمه الأمر " قلب خال للبيع " .. تصور وحدها ورقم الهاتف مابقي منك في خزائني”

“A natureza humana", continuei, "tem os seus limites: pode suportar a alegria, o sofrimento, a dor até certo ponto; arruína-se, porém, mal ele seja ultrapassado. Assim, a questão não é ser-se fraco ou forte, mas conseguir suportar a medida do seu sofrimento, seja moral ou físico. E acho tão estranho chamar covarde a quem põe fim à própria vida como a quem morre de febre maligna.”
