future

You have to choose your future regrets.

Happily Ever After starts every time you woke up.

Now our world is at the present time firmly in the grip of a mechanical monster, whose head - if you want to call it that - is the World Engineer's Complex. That monster is opposed to us and can keep all too good a tab on us through every purchase we make with our credit numbers, every time we use the public transportation or eat a meal or rent a place to live.

Most of us believe we can spot a drowning person when we see one. But we always make the mistake of thinking that drowning only involves what. believe it or not, you have missed quite a number of drowned and drowning people. Some of us are thought to save some one drowning in water, most of us can spot that too, but none of us has been thought to see the other kinds of drowners, nor how to save them.

Too often our visions of the futureare dull and impotentlike a hammer beating the water.

«__ meant, tell me all about this steampunk thing!_ Gavin broke in. __ow does that concept work out for you people, here in Brazil?___ou don__ know about steampunk?_ shouted Xavier, dubiously.__ell, I don__ read many novels! Because I__ kinda fully-booked already! But, obviously, you__e a science fiction writer at a Futurist conference! And I can see that you__e all dressed up like some fancy guy from the past, from the 19th century! So what gives with that? What is all that about?__

... you "met" this Moneta ... or whatever her real name is ... in her past but your future ... in a meeting that's still to come

The future happens. No matter how much we scream.

Never look at what you want to change. Always look at what has changed.

«Eliza opened her furry black satchel. She pulled out a portable CD player. __av, look here. Once, I loved this machine. Because it plays all my CDs. But nobody buys music in the stores any more! Even I don__ pay for music, and I__ rich! I__ carrying a zombie in my purse!___ell, yes, that platform is obsolete now, but a new business model will arise for music.___o it won__! That__ a lie! Nobody will ever pay! The music business is the walking dead! Don__ lie to me._ Eliza stuffed her doomed device back in her furry purse.Gavin rubbed his chin. __our Digital Native generation really has some issues.__

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets _ neither of us have any.

One of my greatest failures: I was trying to cut a piece of moment so that I could erase it.One of my greatest achievements:I have learnt to ignore my futureless past.

Talk of world peace is heard today only among the white peoples, and not among the much more numerous coloured races. This is a perilous state of affairs. When individual thinkers and idealists talk of peace, as they have done since time immemorial, the effect is negligible. But when whole peoples become pacifistic it is a symptom of senility. Strong and unspent races are not pacifistic. To adopt such a position is to abandon the future, for the pacifist ideal is a terminal condition that is contrary to the basic facts of existence. As long as man continues to evolve, there will be wars...

A piece of information can change a person. I'd hate to change the way I'm supposed to live the future.

It__ more like he was an ant in the land of elephants. Nobody would notice his presence, no matter how much noise he might make.

Only the weak use "I can't" as an excuse to give up.

There is little faith involved in setting out on a journey where the destination is certain and every step in between has been mapped in detail. Bravery, trust, is about leaving camp in the dark, when we do not know the route ahead and cannot be certain we will ever return.
