A genuine expert can always foretell a thing that is 500 years away easier than he can a thing that's only 500 seconds off

All emotion is involuntary when genuine.

Laughter without a tinge of philosophy is but a sneeze of humor. Genuine humor is replete with wisdom.

Dreams sometimes foretell the future.

I was not predicting the future, I was trying to prevent it.

That's the future. City-states rammed with aging people huddling up against hospitals and looking up in terror for the big storm that will come and go and leave them floating facedown in thirteen feet of shit. And I can't do anything about it.
