There's less magic now..

CNN is one of the participants in the war. I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected president but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power.

It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value.
There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum.

- It probably can be done, but it's not worth doing.
- I knew it was a good idea all along!

I don't believe in God but I'm very interested in her.

The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

- Arthur C. Clarke 12/16/1917-3/19/2008

Factoid: Though most popularly known for this novel turned motion picture "2001: A Space Odyssey", he is also credited with the concept of geostationary orbit, sometimes called Clarke Orbit.

Mr. Clarke, you will be missed.
