But it had been widely argued that advanced intelligence could never arise in the sea; there were not enough challenges in so benign and unvarying an environment. ↗
Whether we are based on carbon or on silicon makes no fundamental difference; we should each be treated with appropriate respect. ↗
The memory of war was fading into the past as a nightmare vanishes with the dawn; soon it would lie outside the experience of all living men. ↗
In his biography of Stanley Kubrick John Baxter cites Clarke's homosexuality as a reason why he relocated due to more tolerant laws with regard to homosexuality in Sri Lanka. Concept of the geostationary communications satellite

Clarke served in the Royal Air Force as a radar instructor and technician from 1941 to 1946. That year he discovered the underwater ruins of the ancient Koneswaram temple in Trincomalee. In 1956 Clarke emigrated to Sri Lanka largely to pursue his interest in scuba diving.
