"A Sound of Thunder"  by Ray Bradbury

"If you can't read and write you can't think. Your thoughts are dispersed if you don't know how to read and write. You've got to be able
to look at your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were. "

"The first thing you learn in life is you're a fool. The last thing you learn in life is you're the same fool."

"I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it."

"Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down."

 - Ray Bradbury
