  (page 35 of 430)
"To survive what we have termed future shock, one must search out totally new ways to anchor oneself, for all the old roots - religion, nation, community, family, or profession - are shaking under the impact of accelerative thrust.

Before that, however, he must understand how the effects of acceleration creep into his personal life and affect, alter his behaviour.

He must, in other words, understand transience."

Frank Herbert
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Mark Twain
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).”
Mark Twain

Oscar Wilde
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan
