We all live every day in virtual environments, defined by our ideas.

In our modern complex world, fundamentalism is dangerous because of its rigidity and its imperviousness to other ideas.

You know, at times like this one feels, well, perhaps extinct animals should be left extinct.

All major changes are like death. You can't see to the other side until you are there.

In the information society, nobody thinks. We expect to banish paper, but we actually banish thought.

This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility for the choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one thing inside you - the ability to imagine.

And that's how things are. A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there. . . . And at the end of your life, your whole existence has the same haphazard quality, too. Your whole life has the same shape as a single day.
