i can only (weakly) echo all the sentiments better stated before by everyone herein.

suffice to say, for me personally, Clarke was a huge influence on my not only wanting to write fiction, but also examine the world around me not with skeptical eyes, but (to deliberately mis-quote a collaborator with whom he made the classic 2001: A SPACE ODDYSEY) with my EYES WIDE OPEN (not shut!).

i’m feeling really old, suddenly. all the Greats are passing before i’m ready to say good-bye to my youth. i guess that’s the way of it, though. ;\

This was very shocking news. I love science fiction and he was one of my favorite authors ever. Some of the things he wrote about were way before their time, and it is also interesting how many technological advances have come to fruition that he thought up long before. May he rest in peace.

R.I.P., Mr. Clarke.

He finally made his RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA.

Arthur C. Clarke’s “2001: Space Odyssey” is my favorite movie, along with its 2010 sequel.

A genuine thinker, scientist, philosopher and conceptualist – Thanx for all the ideas, Arthur.
R.I.P.

“Somewhere in me is a curiosity sensor. I want to know what’s over the next hill. You know, people can live longer without food than without information. Without information, you’d go crazy.”
- A.C. Clarke

It is indeed a sad day for the world. A person who in my mind almost single handedly expressed man’s quest for the future, space, who are we?, and “What’s out there? with 2001. I wish they would put his TV series back on.

RIP Arthur C. Clarke. He still had a ‘good innings’ as we say.

Sad day

Clarks words both written and spoken helped me along the path I am still on.

His was but one voice of many. Yet his stood out.

I will miss him.

I am glad i knew him.
