“I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring.”
J. G. Ballard (1930–2009) British writer
Interview (30 October 1982) in Re/Search no. 8/9 (1984)
Context: I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again … the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.
Cass Elliot (1941–1974) American singer
Rolling Stone interview (1968)
Context: Everything I've learned in life I've learned either by doing it or watching the changes other people go through. And when you're famous, you don't get to meet people — because they want you to like them when they present themselves to you, present the best sides of themselves, and you don't see the real people. Which is why I don't really go anywhere. And when I do, I put on my silly face and do what they expect me to do. Actually, I never do what they expect me to do. It's the only way I could go on doing what I have to do. I do whatever I… you know, I didn't even comb my hair today. I didn't know we were taking pictures but when I found out, it didn't change my mind any.
“If I could sum it up in 50 words, I wouldn't have needed to write a whole novel about it.”

“The history of failure in war can almost be summed up in two words: 'Too late.'”
Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964) U.S. Army general of the army, field marshal of the Army of the Philippines
Too late in comprehending the deadly purpose of a potential enemy; too late in realizing the mortal danger; too late in preparedness; too late in uniting all possible forces for resistance, too late in standing with one's friends. Victory in war results from no mysterious alchemy or wizardry but depends entirely upon the concentration of superior force at the critical points of combat.
Statement MacArthur made in 1940, as quoted by James B. Reston in Prelude to Victory (1942), p. 64
