I can't predict the future.

One of my few shortcomings is that I can't predict the future.

I've never been able to predict the future of anything.

I am incredibly bad at predicting the future; I am only smart enough to observe the present and listen to my intuition about tendencies.

Nobody wants a prediction that the future will be more or less like the present, even if that is, statistically speaking, an excellent prediction.

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.

I stopped predicting the future a long time ago.

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.

I never predict anything, and I never will.

The best way to predict the future is to change it.
