Future Quotes
-
It is impossible to foretell the future with any degree of accuracy, that it is impossible to rehearse life. A fault in the scenery, a face in the audience, an interruption of the audience on to the stage, and all our carefully planned gesture mean nothing, or mean too much.

Libraries are the future of reading. When the economy is down, we need to make it easier for people to buy and read books for free, not harder.
