A great highlighter of what might be done to improve society and what might happen if we don’t, he wrote prolifically on many subjects including science fiction , history, politics, social commentary etc.

Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today

If we don’t end war, war will end us

There is no intelligence where there is no need of change

Our true nationality is mankind

Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you’ve been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are

What really matters is what you do with what you have

It may be that we exist and cease to exist in alternations, like the minute dots in some forms of toned printing or the succession of pictures on a cinema film. It may be that reality is an illusion of movement in an eternal, static, multidimensional universe. We may be only a story written on the ground of the inconceivable; the pattern on a rug beneath the feet of the incomprehensible

We all have our time machines, don’t we?  Those that take us back are memories…and those that carry us forward, are dreams

Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature’s inexorable imperative

The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it

Human history is in essence a history of ideas

Life can seem pretty strange if we never really live in the now.

It’s like standing on the side of the highway and just watching all the cars speed by, never getting to examine more closely a make or model because we are watching out for the next one in case it’s better than the last.  Living life like that would be fairly boring, yet that is what a lot of us do.
It’s easy to get caught up rushing around and feeling busy – and oh so self important.  Then when we do stop for a moment, we become a bit dejected because we think the amount of effort we put into something just doesn’t seem to correspond with our level of accomplishment.
By focusing solely on a particular task and giving it our all we are being present, we become fully aware of what the moment has to offer us and what we have to offer it.  We utilise it wisely and because we are focused and committed we are not distracted by future or past thoughts.  We live the moment and not realise later that is has passed us by.  We feel the hours of the day because we are living them and are a part of them.
We become a participant in our own time, in our own story, and not a bystander on the peripheral of it, constantly watching and planning for a life we never truly live.
