All we really have when we pretend to write about the future is the moment in which we are writing. That's why every imagined future obsoletes like an ice cream melting on the way back from the corner store.

The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.

The future is made of the same stuff as the present.

I don't have to write about the future. For most people, the present is enough like the future to be pretty scary.

I've seen the future and it's much like the present only longer.

The future, like everything else, is not what it used to be.
