Arthur C. Clarke's Three Laws

The three ”laws” of prediction formulated by the British writer Arthur C. Clarke. They are:

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 of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

“We are merely side effects”

—The fault in our stars, john green

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. ”

—The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger.

“Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it. If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed. ”

—Mark Twain

“The whole point [of science fiction] is that the ideas are fresh and startling and intriguing; you imitate the great ones, not by rewriting their stories, but rather by creating stories that are just as startling and new.”

—Orson Scott Card, in the introduction to Ender’s Game

“Write to write. Write because you need to write. Write to settle the rage within you. Write with an internal purpose. Write about something or someone that means so much to you, that you don’t care what others think. ”

—Isn’t It Pretty To Think So? (Nick Miller)
