And sometimes, dispassionately, they had to weed.”
― Arthur C. Clarke, 2001 a Space Odyssey

“The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one”
― H G Wells, The War of the Worlds

“We expect aliens to contact with us! If they do contact, what will be the best thing we can offer to them? Of course our human values, what else can it be!”
