People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it.

The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little.

There was always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid of the past, afraid of the present, afraid of themselves and shadows of themselves.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
