Famous quotes containing the words future and/or developments:

    “The ellipse is as aimless as that,
    Stretching invisibly into the future so as to reappear
    In our present. Its flexing is its account,
    Return to the point of no return.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
    Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
