Arthur C. Clarke
“But please remember: this is only a work of fiction. The truth, as always, will be far stranger.”
Arthur C. Clarke

Lord Byron
“Tis strange,-but true; for truth is always strange;
Stranger than fiction: if it could be told,
How much would novels gain by the exchange!
How differently the world would men behold!”
George Gordon Byron, Don Juan
