...bear no grudge against these parasites upon prediction in an era that slavers to know the future. It is not their fault that they are tolerated. Day after unchanging day, people pay to read the newspapers in which the seers spew forth their political wisdom. The people pay to read what they themselves will or may or might...
...DART-THROWER. For the future, the most radical rifle is SPIW (Special Purpose Infantry Weapons, pronounced "spew"), which fires darts instead of bullets.

...honk with the aggressive dissonance of city traffic. They have the staccato beat of a pneumatic drill. The strident reds, blues, and yellows blare with neon. And the stray words that seem squiggled from a toothpaste tube onto his paintings are like the hip, harsh expletives that slum kids spew into the summer air. Davis had violence without anger, gaiety without abandon, and his paintings swing and jump with such durable joy that it is as if he had dipped his brush in some eternal fountain of youth...
