You see, it’s all right, uncle, when I’m sure! Then we go strong for all we’re worth. Don’t we, Bassett?

That Madam Futura knows everything! She can see the past, the present, and the future!
He cried all night—he didn’t stop till just now! He can’t be just teething! I’m taking the day off . . . We’re going to the doctor to find out why!
So it wasn’t too surprising that Harry just happened to be passing by the new building going up when a small bag of cement fell from the second story scaffolding.
The eye says I won’t get caught . . . and it is never wrong!
I heard that story you just told . . . and I believe you!
There were no ill effects from the shock! But some days later, the first signs of his hunusual new power appeared . . .
He fought sleep like a man fighting demons! But no man can stay awake forever! His eyelids began to close, heavy with fatigue, his head began to nod . . .
What have you got in there? Some sort of machine? Crystal ball? . . . You can see ahead, can’t you? You can look into the future.
You want me to tell you your future, I presume.
The mine did cave later . . . but mining is a dangerous business and some always die! The important thing is, I got production!
I refuse to make any statement about whether or not those two crossed a Time Barrier.
You can win Odin’s enchanted hammer—but you will have to meet death first!
He thought she wouldn’t answer but finally she said, “What if I can’t go back? What if I have to live out Brandy’s life? She lives an awfully long time, Corbin.”
Stella: So you can see into the future? All these years you never told me. Think of all the trouble I might have avoided.

If you can’t change anything because it’s already happened, you may as well smell the flowers.

Es regnete fürchterlich. Ich hätte besser nicht nur den Regenmantel, sondern auch Gummistiefel angezogen. Mein Lieblings-Magnolienbaum an der Ecke ließ traurif sein Blüten hängen. Brevor ich ihn erreicht hatte, war ich schon dreimal in eine Pfütze getreten. Als ich gerade eine vierte umgehen wollte, riss es mich vollkommen ohne Vorwarnung von den Beinen. Mein magen fuhr Achterbahn und die Straße verschwamm vor meinen Augen zu einem grauen Fluss.translate
It was raining cats and dogs, and I wished I’d put on my wellies. The flowers on my favorite magnolia tree on the corner were drooping in a melancholy way. Before I reached it, I’d already splashed through three puddles. Just as I was trying to steer my way around a fourth, I was swept suddenly off my soggy feet. My stomach flip-flopped, and before my eyes, the street blurred into a grey river.
Rubinrot, Begabt mit der Magie des Raben, Schließt G-Dur den Kreis, Den zwölf gebildet haben.translate
Ruby Red, with G-major, the magic of the raven, brings the Circle of Twelve home into safe haven.
It predicts future crimes so we can catch criminals in the act.
I’m not going to let anybody hurt you this time. I swear to you on my life.
Reece, it isn’t just clarvoyance or neurosis, either.
She’d tell him in person, the thing they should have come out and admitted from the start.
It’s time travel.
There are always more than two options, John. Find option C.
Magic. I read in your face that you did not want to talk about the cocktail dream, though you were thinking about it, and I watched you read the same message in mine.
Dad was right. It is just a pile of stones with a gift shop.
I’m not cut out to be a time traveling bandit.
Well, maybe some things are supposed to be just for us.
