The future was a pitch-black tunnel, ending in a locked door.
- Thou wonder world yet undefined, unform'd, neither do I define thee,
- How can I pierce the impenetrable blank of the future?
- I feel thy ominous greatness evil as well as good,
- I watch thee advancing, absorbing the present, transcending the past,
- I see thy light lighting, and thy shadow shadowing, as if the entire globe,
- But I do not undertake to define thee, hardly to comprehend thee,
- I but thee name, thee prophesy, as now,
- I merely thee ejaculate!

The future was a matter of keeping the past at bay.
Future joys are like tropic shores: out into the immensity that lies before them they waft their native softness, a fragrant breeze that drugs the traveler into drowsiness and makes him careless of what awaits him on the horizon beyond his view.
No skill in the world, nothing human can penetrate the future.
Behind all present happiness is concealed a fear for the future.
You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
