Future shock is the disorientation that affects an individual, a corporation, or a country when he or it is overwhelmed by change and the prospect of change ... we are in collision with tomorrow.

The responsibility for change...lies within us. We must begin with ourselves, teaching ourselves not to close our minds prematurely to the novel, the surprising, the seemingly radical.

Idea-assassins rush forward to kill any new suggestion on the grounds of its impracticality, while defending whatever now exists as practical, no matter how absurd.

I work virtually every waking hour.

Man has a limited biological capacity for change. When this capacity is overwhelmed, the capacity is in future shock.

You can use all the quantitative data you can get, but you still have to distrust it and use your own intelligence and judgment.

Future shock is the dizzying disorientation brought on by the premature arrival of the future.
