More quotes by Arthur C. Clarke

"There is no reason to assume that the universe has the slightest interest in intelligence—or even in life. Both may be random accidental by-products of its operations like the beautiful patterns on a butterfly's wings. The insect would fly just as well without them."
"I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here."
"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."
"How inappropriate to call this planet "Earth,"when it is clearly "Ocean."
"One of the greatest tragedies in mankind's entire history may be that morality was hijacked by religion."
