Arthur C. Clark died today, aged 90 years. He wrote the book 2001: A Space Odyssey, worked on the film version with Stanley Kubrick and did a lot more. I started watching 2001 when I was about 6 and haven't stopped yet. I am indebted to him.
"Our modern term 'charm' comes from the Latin for song, ...carmen, which was taken in turn from the Greek charma meaning 'source of joy'... But it was also from this word that the Greeks derived the word charme. In modern English charme best translates as 'combat'. All of which makes one wonder...if Shakespeare was aware of this when he had Macbeth, shortly before he is killed by Macduff, coin the term 'charmed life.'" - Nic Kelman, Girls: A Paean
