I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

The past is necessarily inferior to the future. That is how we wish it to be. How could we acknowledge any merit in our most dangerous enemy: the past, gloomy prevaricator, execrable tutor?
Filippo Tommaso Marinetti

As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there
Charles F. Kettering
