More quotes by Arthur C. Clarke

Climbing at millions of miles per hour, an invisible fireball many times the size of Earth would leap from the Sun and head out across space.
Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
Belief in God is apparently a psychological artifact of mammalian reproduction.
Arthur C. Clarke
Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.
Arthur C. Clarke
It was one thing to have guessed it, another to have had that guess confirmed beyond possibility of refutation.
Arthur C. Clarke
It is really quite amazing by what margins competent but conservative scientists and engineers can miss the mark, when they start with the preconceived idea that what they are investigating is impossible.
Arthur C. Clarke
Perhaps no other year before or since 1984 has been awaited with such eager anticipation.
Arthur C. Clarke
If children have interests, then education happens.
Arthur C. Clarke
Whether we are based on carbon or on silicon makes no fundamental difference we should each be treated with appropriate respect.
Arthur C. Clarke
God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist.
Arthur C. Clarke
Science fiction seldom attempts to predict the future. More often than not, it tries to prevent the future.
Arthur C. Clarke
