Maybe I’m having my own extended moment of Zen, but I keep thinking about these two quotations, which I encountered earlier this week.
“There are years that ask questions and years that answer them.”
— Zora Neale Hurston (quoted in The Week)
“People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own 
wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.”
— George Orwell, “London Letter,” Partisan Review, Winter 1945 (Quoted in Arts Journal)
Nice quotes… Funny, I keep thinking of: “Before us stands yesterday.” -Ted Hughes
The amazing fact of history is that it has a 100% accuracy rating…for predicting the future.
