Any smoothly functioning technology will have the appearance of magic.

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.

As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.

The time was fast approaching when Earth, like all mothers, must say farewell to her children.

One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion.

No communication technology has ever disappeared, but instead becomes increasingly less important as the technological horizon widens.

I'm surprised at some technological development, and the realization that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. I think the CD-ROM is the best example of that. The idea of having a whole symphony, or opera, or novel in a little piece of plastic is pretty amazing.
