Артур Чарльз Кларк знаменитые цитаты
Мы становимся расой созерцателей, а не созидателей. Но с другой стороны, смотреть телевизор — все равно что дышать: без него не обойтись. Человек может дольше прожить без еды, чем без информации. Загвоздка — в образовательной системе: людей надо обучать разборчивости. Только самодисциплина сможет противостоять тем волшебным силам, которые еще только будут вызваны нами к жизни. Иначе все станем морскими губками.

As quoted in The Making of Kubrick's 2001 (1970) by Jerome Agel, p. 300
1970s
Контексте: One of the biggest roles of science fiction is to prepare people to accept the future without pain and to encourage a flexibility of mind. Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories. Two-thirds of 2001 is realistic — hardware and technology — to establish background for the metaphysical, philosophical, and religious meanings later.
"Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination" in Profiles of the Future (1962)
Perhaps the adjective "elderly" requires definition. In physics, mathematics, and astronautics it means over thirty; in the other disciplines, senile decay is sometimes postponed to the forties. There are, of course, glorious exceptions; but as every researcher just out of college knows, scientists of over fifty are good for nothing but board meetings, and should at all costs be kept out of the laboratory!
"Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination" in Profiles of the Future (1962; as revised in 1973)
On Clarke's Laws
As quoted in The Peter Plan : A Proposal for Survival (1976) by Laurence J. Peter

“Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its tenets.”
1950s
Источник: Childhood's End (1953), p. 15
Контексте: Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the non-existence of Zeus or Thor — but they have few followers now.
