James Baldwin

Mark Twain
“Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.”
Mark Twain

Arthur C. Clarke
“I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here.”
Arthur C. Clarke

“Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.”
Walker Evans

Zbigniew Brzeziński
“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities. ”
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era
