Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
What we need is a machine that will let us see the other guy's point of view.
Arthur C. Clarke
Science fiction seldom attempts to predict the future. More often than not, it tries to prevent the future.
Arthur C. Clarke
It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars.
Arthur C. Clarke
It was a pity that there was no radar to guide one across the trackless seas of life. Every man had to find his own way, steered by some secret compass of the soul. And sometimes, late or early, the compass lost its power and spun aimlessly on its bearings. Alan Bishop
