We should be less concerned about adding years to life, and more about adding life to years. I have been very fortunate to have witnessed some of humanity’s greatest achievements during the 20th century that is nearing its end. Yet we must admit that it has also been the most savage century in the history of our kind. If I can have one more wish, I want to see lasting and meaningful peace achieved in Sri Lanka as early as possible. But I am aware that peace cannot just be wished; it involves hard work, courage and persistence. As we welcome 2001, let us harness our collective energies to create a culture of peace and a land of prosperity.
~ Arthur C. Clarke, 1917-2008
