Arthur C. Clarke Quotes

Khedron was content with the order of things as it was. True, he might upset that order from time to time-but only by a little. He was a critic, not a revolutionary. On the placidly flowing river of time, he wished only to make a few ripples; he shrank from diverting its course.
