The classic quote goes something like this:
'We don't want other worlds. We want mirrors.'
I never heard of Stanislaw Lem until a few weeks ago when I read a few selections of his in "The Mind's I" by Dan Dennett and Douglas Hofstadter. I posted it here (it's called Non-Servium): http://atheistforums.org/thread-24842.html
It's probably one of the most beautiful passages I've read with respects to philosophy and science.
