The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.

The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.

If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.

We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.

Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.
