1990s

“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.”

As quoted in The Making of Kubrick's 2001 (1970) by Jerome Agel, p. 300
1970s
Kontekst: 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.

“Clarke's First Law: 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.”

"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!

On Clarke's Laws

“This is the first age that's ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one.”

As quoted in The Peter Plan : A Proposal for Survival (1976) by Laurence J. Peter
1970s

“There were some things that only time could cure. Evil men could be destroyed, but nothing could be done with good men who were deluded.”

“Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its tenets.”

Arthur C. Clarke książka Childhood's End

1950s
Źródło: Childhood's End (1953), p. 15
Kontekst: 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.

“Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living.”

“Never attribute to malevolence what is merely due to incompetence”
