Early on in his writing career, acclaimed science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke (born December 16, 1917) emigrated from England to Sri Lanka. Because of his dual status, he was able to receive a knighthood from the British government in 1998 and then the Sri Lankabhimanya, Sri Lanka's highest civil honor, in 2005.
"Better pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, because there's b****r all down here on Earth."
~Monty Python, Galaxy Song

“That young girl,” he added unexpectedly, “is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting.”
― Douglas Adams, The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
