Good one ! I like the
"What most people want, when they speak of the future, is essentially the present extended into eternity."

we all suffer from a kind of illusion where change happened slow enough that we did not perceive the change, but even if we look back a mere decade it is obvious how everything is already radically different.
What is certain is that this rythym of change will keep accelerating and our perception will see change happen much more obviously.
