The best way to predict your future is to create it.

From Jan Svankmajer's Alice (1988). Via.

"You ask, 'Why does God not reveal the future to us?' Ask yourselves why you do not believe you are God, for then you would know the future, would create it yourselves; each one of you would create that part that is his to create, and from that part, each of you would be able to see the whole."
—Gustav Meyrink, Walpurgisnacht
