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.

Change is the process by which the future invades our lives, and it is important to look at it closely, not merely from the grand perspectives of history, but also from the vantage point of the living, breathing individuals who experience it.

Change is non-linear and can go backwards, forwards and sideways

To survive, to avert what we have termed future shock, the individual must become infinitely more adaptable and capable than ever before.

A new civilization is emerging in our lives, and blind men everywhere are trying to suppress it.

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

Information overload will lead to 'future shock syndrome' as an individual will suffer severe physical and mental disturbances.
