Summary

This quote, often attributed to Arthur C. Clarke, suggests that highly advanced technology can appear supernatural or miraculous to people who do not comprehend or understand it.

It emphasizes the idea that our perception of what is magical or extraordinary is relative to our level of knowledge and understanding of the world around us.

...You find a way, somehow to get through the most horrible things, things you think would kill you. You find a way and you move through the days, one by one, in shock, in despair, but you move.
