The only constant is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
— Isaac Asimov
That's incorrect. He didn't say that in 2004. You know how I know that? Because he died in 1992.

Part of the quote is not from Asimov. "The only constant is change" is a know translation variation for a quote by Heraclitus a 500BC, greek philosopher.

We have to embrace change because it will happen anyway.

The great greek philosophers were always debating on what in the Universe was permanent and what is constant to what is in constant change; Socrates, Aristotles, Heraclitus
