The possibilities make good scientists chary.

Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous. I want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist; I want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension.

Alone among science-fiction movies, “2001'' is not concerned with thrilling us, but with inspiring our awe.
