apocalypse

Coffee first. Save the world later.

Isn't it strange that all life can pretty much end, but the universe goes on as it is? No one else exists, but the moon keeps shining and the stars keep falling.

I think this is irresponsible preaching and very dangerous, and especially when it is slanted toward children, I think it's totally irresponsible, because I see nothing biblical that points up to our being in the last days, and I just think it's an outrageous thing to do, and a lot of people are making a living__hey've been making a living for 2,000 years__reaching that we're in the last days.

How would you know if you were the last man on Earth? He said.I don't guess you would know it. You'd just be it.

The world is a clock winding down.I hear it in the wind__ icy fingers scratching against the window. I smell it in the mildewed carpeting and the rotting wallpaper of the old hotel. And I feel it in Teacup__ chest as she sleeps. The hammering of her heart, the rhythm of her breath, warm in the freezing air, the clock winding down.

Man must learn that his current path is not suitable for Earth, and soon, Earth won't be suitable for Man.

Never a good sign, he thought, when the crows showed up.

I__e been itching to kill a zombie lately. Can I take the lead on this one, dad?

A father__ only dream is to hear his daughter ask to kill some zombies. Go for it, sweetie. Make this old man proud.

I hate what__ become of the world. Most of the humans do. There__ so much violence and blood and meaningless death. It__ not even the normal kind of death where your heart stops beating and your loved ones put you in a hole in the ground. A boring way to spend eternity, but if you are lucky, that__ what you__l get.

Survival is a passive way of saying __y needs are greater than yours.

That__ the thing about the collapse of civilization, Blake. It never happens according to plan _ there__ no slavering horde of zombies. No actinic flash of thermonuclear war. No Earth-shuddering asteroid. The end comes in unforeseen ways; the stock market collapses, and then the banks, and then there is no food in the supermarkets, or the communications system goes down completely and inevitably, and previously amiable co-workers find themselves wrestling over the last remaining cookie that someone brought in before all the madness began.

It's more useful to have someone fear you than respect you.

There are a lot of people on this planet and, as a Christian, I like to believe that they all have to go somewhere. Let__ say that a half or three thirds will go to hell. But, what about the rest? "Mr. Wesley

It's over.""I am not the only lord in Hell. Others will rise to take my place. The Morningstar will crave revenge.""Let them come.

Mamoon went on, __he news I bring is to say that, man being the only animal who hates himself, the likely fate of the world is total self-destruction._ He raised his glass. __ll the best then, my friends. Here__ to a happy apocalypse.___appy apocalypse,_ murmured the other guests, obediently.

But the sun will rise the day after tomorrowA millennium without us silences our last echoTo tiny fragments even our plastics are reducedIn Eden Reincarnate all life but ours is renewed

Our planet is not fragile at its own timescale and we, pitiful latecomers in the last microsecond of our planetary year, are stewards of nothing in the long run.
