Here’s a link: http://www.ecotopia.com/webpress/futures.htm

“Perspective is worth 80 IQ points” – as above, is close, but not the original quote

This talk also contains the quote, and a reference to its original context,
“The best way to invent the future is to invent it.”

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/alan_kay.html

Others I got just from google searching his name. They were spread out, so I decided to put them up in a blog post.

Here’s an interview that have a few of his quotes: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1039523

I’d love to read some of the interviews/essays from which they come, especially the last.
