If you could stop every atom in its position and direction, and if your mind could comprehend all the actions thus suspended, then if you were really, really good at algebra you could write the formula for all the future; and although nobody can be so clever as to do it, the formula must exist just as if one could.

I think that the present is worth attention, one shouldn't sacrifice it to future conceptions of, of this future or that future.

Audiences know what to expect, and that is all that they are prepared to believe in.

Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance at least. You could lie there thinking: Well, at least I'm not dead.

For all the compasses in the world, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure.
