“I'm not into this whole "move with the times" thing. I reckon we should just decide on a year and stick with it.”
R.D. Ronald

Gabriel F.W. Koch
“Truthfully, Professor Hawking? Why would we allow tourists from the future muck up the past when your contemporaries had the task well in Hand?"
Brigadier General Patrick E Buckwalder 2241C.E.”

P.D. Eastman
“Oh oh!” said the
mother bird. “My baby
will be here! He will
want to eat.”
P.D. Eastman, Are You My Mother?

Sara Pascoe
“When I'm hung-over I try to imagine being old and look- ing back fondly on now, on this bit I'm currently living, and how in retrospect it might seem adventurous. In the future when I only ever sit in a chair because I'm too gnarled for pleasure or movement I'll remember when I stayed out all night and had life-changing conversations and walked all the way home because I lost my phone.”
Sara Pascoe, Weirdo

Benjamin Franklin
“In reality, there is, perhaps, no one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride. Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself; you will see it, perhaps, often in this history; for, even if I could conceive that I had compleatly overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility.”
Benjamin Franklin, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
