Additional quotes by Arthur C. Clarke

Humor was the enemy of desire.

The person one loves never really exists, but is a projection focused through the lens of the mind onto whatever screen it fits with least distortion.

To obtain a mental picture of the distance to the nearest star, compared to the nearest planet, you must imagine a world in which the closest object to you is only five feet away — and there is nothing else to see until you have travelled a thousand miles.
