Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.
Arthur C. ClarkeIt’s a question of whether we’re going to go forward into the future, or past to the back.
Dan QuayleIf I close my eyes and think of Hollywood, all I see is one big varicose vein.
Marilyn MonroeAre we simply waving farewell to the days when some of the most interesting thinking in Europe and America came to us from our fiction film-makers? BBC2, which once introduced and showed great films, now shows none.
David HareThe mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity… The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
Samuel JohnsonWe were on for six years. We were in syndication for a while. It had its run. I still see the people from ‚Mr. Belvedere,‘ too. We stay in touch.

Abraham LincolnAs we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.
Bill GatesThat is America. That is America. Those bonds of affection; that common creed. We don’t fear the future; we shape it. We embrace it, as one people, stronger together than we are on our own.
Barack ObamaPrejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
Maya AngelouThere are many events in the womb of time, which will be delivered.
William ShakespeareMany people will have nothing at the end of their working lives.
Robert KiyosakiThe absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it’s not going to happen. I’m fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.
David BowieThe future is purchased by the present.
Samuel JohnsonIt is natural to want to have a future.
Alice WalkerCreativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamStudy the past, if you would divine the future.
ConfuciusPeople look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.

Ayrton SennaI was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future, but only way off to the side.
Steven WrightI have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense… I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.

Ralph Waldo EmersonThe only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Thich Nhat HanhI think the first British actor who really worked well in cinema was Albert Finney. He was a back-street Marlon Brando. He brought a great wittiness and power to the screen. The best actor we’ve had.
Anthony HopkinsI think, first of all, I don’t think people understand Ice Cube’s body of work. Ice Cube is a, and I hate to use the word ‚urban‘ but – when you think of Judd Apatow, and a person who’s launched so many careers, Ice Cube has done that for so many comedians, you know?
Kevin HartThe future of advertising is the Internet.
Bill GatesMy business is to prevent the future.
Ray BradburyI really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It’s a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that’s what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future. I wish it was growing faster than it is.
Elon MuskIf anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It’s really only to be heard when everyone’s out enjoying it.

Dave GrohlThe future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

Isaac AsimovIn George Bush you get experience, and with me you get – The Future!
Dan QuayleFilm is a very tight little box. If you don’t fit in that box, you’re gone. Television, there’s more room to move around.
George LucasIn California, they don’t throw their garbage away – they make it into TV shows.
Woody AllenI wanted in my lifetime to vote for a radical Native American woman, since my vision of any future that we might have is that it will be led by women and older women.
Alice WalkerCertainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.
Richard M. NixonPeople respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.
Joel OsteenThe symbolism of the climate strike is that if you adults don’t give a damn about my future, I won’t either.
Greta ThunbergSpeculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.

Harry S. TrumanI know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They’ve shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can’t be homophobic in this line of work – I’m a pop star!
RihannaI hope my own children never have to fight a war.
George H. W. BushI desire no future that will break the ties with the past.
George EliotWhat’s so beautiful about Miami is that we support each other. We’re just one big family, not just the entertainers, just everyone in general.

Paul AusterIf you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.
George OrwellI’m not in the loop; I don’t know any actors, really, just the ones I work with.
Denzel WashingtonThere is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.
Stephen HawkingConservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.
Benjamin Disraeli
