Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
. . . the newspapers of Utopia, he had long ago decided, would be terribly dull.
Arthur C. Clarke
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
Arthur C. Clarke
God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist.
Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
Belief in God is apparently a psychological artifact of mammalian reproduction.
Arthur C. Clarke
The only way to define your limits is by going beyond them.
Arthur C. Clarke
After their encounter on the approach to Jupiter, there would aways be a secret bond between them---not of love, but of tenderness, which is often more enduring.
Arthur C. Clarke
