—Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“A straight oar looks bent in the water. What matters is not merely that we see things but how we see them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
