More quotes by Arthur C. Clarke

"I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here."
"How inappropriate to call this planet "Earth,"when it is clearly "Ocean."
"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."
"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."
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible."
