More quotes by Arthur C. Clarke
I don't think there is such a thing as as a real prophet. You can never predict the future. We know why now, of course chaos theory, which I got very interested in, shows you can never predict the future.
Arthur C. Clarke
The best proof of intelligent life in space is that it hasn't come here.
Arthur C. Clarke
Death focuses the mind on the things that really matter: why are we here, and what should we do?
Arthur C. Clarke
No communication technology has ever disappeared, but instead becomes increasingly less important as the technological horizon widens.
Arthur C. Clarke
The only way to define your limits is by going beyond them.
Arthur C. Clarke
When all else failed, you had to rely on eyeball intrumentation.
Arthur C. Clarke
There were some things that only time could cure. Evil men could be destroyed, but nothing could be done with good men who were deluded.
Arthur C. Clarke
The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play. That's why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system.
Arthur C. Clarke
Space is what stops everything from happening in the same place.
Arthur C. Clarke
My objection to organized religion is the premature conclusion to ultimate truth that it represents.
Arthur C. Clarke
Religion is a byproduct of fear.
Arthur C. Clarke
He was moving through a new order of creation, of which few men had ever dreamed. Beyond the realms of sea and land and air and space lay the realms of fire, which he alone had been privileged to glimpse. It was too much to expect that he would also understand.
Arthur C. Clarke
I believe any malevolent supercivilisation would have rapidly self-destructed as we may be in the process of doing ourselves. If we do have contact, physical contact with aliens, I think it will be benign.
Arthur C. Clarke
One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion.
Arthur C. Clarke
Judge me by my deeds, though they are few, rather than my words, though they are many.
Arthur C. Clarke
I sometimes think that the universe is a machine designed for the perpetual astonishment of astronomers.
Arthur C. Clarke
'2001' was written in an age which now lies beyond one of the great divides in human history we are sundered from it forever by the moment when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped out on to the Sea of Tranquility. Now history and fiction have become inexorably intertwined.
Arthur C. Clarke
The information age has been driven and dominated by technopreneurs. We now have to apply these technologies in saving lives, improving livelihoods and lifting millions of people out of squalor, misery and suffering. In other words, our focus must now move from the geeks to the meek.
Arthur C. Clarke
Only small minds are impressed by large numbers.
Arthur C. Clarke
Creationism, perhaps the most pernicious of the intellectual perversions now afflicting the American public.
Arthur C. Clarke
