Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
We stand now at the turning point between two eras. Behind us is a past to which we can never return... The coming of the rocket brought to an end a million years of isolation... the childhood of our race was over and history as we know it began.
Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
When all else failed, you had to rely on eyeball intrumentation.
Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
Science demands patience.
Arthur C. Clarke
A single test which proves some piece of theory wrong is more valuable than a hundred tests showing that idea might be true.
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
Religion is a byproduct of fear.
Arthur C. Clarke
I have never grown up, but I will never stop growing.
Arthur C. Clarke
As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.
Arthur C. Clarke
Now I understand,” said the last man.
Arthur C. Clarke
Guns are the crutches of the impotent.
Arthur C. Clarke
Once you can reproduce a phenomenon, you are well on the way to understanding it.
Arthur C. Clarke
One of the biggest roles of science fiction is to prepare people to accept the future without pain and to encourage a flexibility of the mind. Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.
Arthur C. Clarke
