You need imagination in order to imagine a future that doesn't exist.

Imagination is the only key to the future. Without it none exists - with it all things are possible.

The science fiction world has a lot of people doing seriously imaginative thinking.

So I try not to look too far into the future because I think that everything happens and will happen for a reason.

I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.

You can never properly predict the future as it really turns out. So you are doing something a little different when you write science fiction. You are trying to take a different perspective on now.

If I want to speculate wildly about the future, I have my science fiction. Anybody who tells you they can predict the future is either crazy or lying.

I'm not such a fan of imagination. If you're alive to details, they oftentimes suggest a richer or deeper imaginative line than you would have imagined.
