Arthur C. Clarke Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• Invade me now, my ruthless friend,
  
  And make me cower in the dark.
  
  Remind me that I'm all alone
  
  And draw upon my face your mark.
  
  How is it that you capture me,
  
  When all my thoughts deny your force?
  
  Is it the reptile in my brain
  
  That lets your terror run its course?
  
  
  
  Baseless Fear undoes us all
  
  Despite our quest for lofty goals.
  
  We would-be Galahads don't die,
  
  Fear just freezes all our souls.
  
  It keeps us mute when feeling love,
  
  Reminding us what we might lose.
  
  And if by chance we meet success,
  
  Fear tells us which safe route to choose.

  Arthur C. Clarke

• . . . Moon-Watcher felt the first faint twinges of a new and potent emotion. It was a vague and diffuse sense of envy--of dissatisfaction with his life. He had no idea of its cause, still less of its cure; but discontent had come into his soul, and he had taken one small step toward humanity.

  Arthur C. Clarke

  Taken, Moon, Ideas

• It was a pity that there was no radar to guide one across the trackless seas of life. Every man had to find his own way, steered by some secret compass of the soul. And sometimes, late or early, the compass lost its power and spun aimlessly on its bearings. Alan Bishop
