Who said “Legends of prediction are common throughout the whole Household of Man. Gods speak,…”?

“I think predictability has become the rule and I'm completely the opposite -- I like spectators to be disturbed.”

“No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time.”

“The unpredictability inherent in human affairs is due largely to the fact that the by-products of a human process are more fateful than the product.”

“Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose frame the prediction moves and where it finds its evidence.”

“He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.”

“If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.”

“When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep.”

“My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.”

“The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.”

“We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.”

“The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.”
