“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
“We are called to be the architects of the future, not its victims.” “The best way to predict the future is to design it.” “I am convinced that the only thing that will save the world is the cooperation of all people.” “There is no energy crisis, only a crisis of ignorance.” |
