"There is a certain hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum." --Arthur C. Clarke

I've added the following to Attributed ; I cannot find the original source (this is not 2001) -- Murphypathe

"Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."

I think the last few quotes in the article, a couple of the "Any ___ is ___ from a ___" quotes, may be vandalism. I could be wrong but it would be wise to check, and they are unsourced. 207.6.50.166 09:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced quote

My favourite definition of "Intellectual" is: "A person whose education surpasses their intelligence."

Clarke here quotes a definition he does not claim to have originated (but even where he said this remains unsourced).

..um pretty sure Clarke wrote this in the Epilog of 3001. But I don't have to book at hand right now.
