Rendezvous with Rama

Pretty good book...

"All human senses require some input. If they are deprived of it, the mind manufactures its own substitutes."

Arthur C. Clarke

Pratchett quotes

"The important thing about having lots of things to remember is that you've got to go somewhere afterward where you can remember them, you see? You've got to stop. You haven't really been anywhere until you've got back home."

"Darkness is't the opposite of light, it is simply its absence."

"Inside every sane person there's a madman struggling to get out."

"If the gods had wanted men to fly, they'd have given them an airline ticket."

Terry Pratchett (The Light Fantastic)
