The Appeal
If I have given you delight
By aught that I have done
Let me lie quiet in that night
Which shall be yours anon.
And for the little little span
The dead are borne in mind
Seek not to questions other than
The books I leave be... more

 Bule1976 rated 16 months ago- We know he died but why should this be a stumble upon page. The main site of wikipedia i can understand but just to add a page because it's about someone that died recently.

- He was probably the most famous citizen of my neighbouring country. But nationality was hardly something you'd notice about him. An irreplaceable piece of our intellectual make up, gone.

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke,
(16 December 1917 - 19 March 2008 was a British science fiction author,
inventor, and futurist,
most famous
for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, and for collaborating with director Stanley Kubrick
on the film of the same name.
We should be less concerned about adding years to life, and more about adding life to years. I have been very fortunate to have witnessed some of humanity's greatest achievements during the 20th century that is nearing its end. Yet we must admit that it has also been the most savage century in the history of our kind. If I can have one more wish, I want to see lasting and meaningful peace achieved in Sri Lanka as early as possible. But I am aware that peace cannot just be wished; it involves hard work, courage and persistence.
As we welcome 2001, let us harness our collective energies to create a culture of peace and a land of prosperity.
As quoted in the [Sri Lanka] Sunday Times (31 December 2000)
