Ovo me je podsetilo da jos nisam procitao poslednje dve odiseje (2061 and 3001), jel to neko preveo kod nas?

New ideas pass through three periods:
- It can't be done.
- It probably can be done, but it's not worth doing.
- I knew it was a good idea all along!


Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal.


It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God-but to create him.


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 greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.


Information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight. Each grows out of the other, and we need them all.


The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.


We are just tenants on this world. We have just been given a new lease, and a warning from the landlord.


It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value.


There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum.


At the present rate of progress, it is almost impossible to imagine any technical feat that cannot be achieved - if it can be achieved at all - within the next few hundred years.


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.



It may be that the old astrologers had the truth exactly reversed, when they believed that the stars controlled the destinies of men. The time may come when men control the destinies of stars.


I don't pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about.


I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Sagittarius and we're skeptical.


Perhaps, as some wit remarked, the best proof that there is Intelligent Life in Outer Space is the fact it hasn't come here. Well, it can't hide forever - one day we will overhear it.


The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.


The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.


We have to abandon the idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How can it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 - and half the things he knows at 40 hadn't been discovered when he was 20?


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.
