Brandon Andress
“If people feel lost and alone and helpless and broken and hopeless today, what will it be like if the world really begins to come apart at the hinges?”
Brandon Andress, And Then the End Will Come!: But Five Things You Need to Know in the Meantime

“When trauma involves intentional harm, such as in a crime or abuse, trust can totally collapse.”
Dena Rosenbloom, Life After Trauma: A Workbook for Healing

Jasinda Wilder
“My thoughts are free to roam back to the way she leaned her head on my arm for a split second, as if wishing she could let herself go, let herself lean farther. But she didn't, and I can’t help but respect her for that, even I know her strength is false, propped up by the shaky girders of Old Man Jack. One day soon, those girders will collapse, and her world will crumble, and I know I have to be there when that happens.”
Jasinda Wilder, Falling Into You

Mark A. Rayner
“That’s the thing about the collapse of civilization, Blake. It never happens according to plan â€� there’s 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.”
Mark A. Rayner, The Fridgularity

A.J. Darkholme
“Like tiny gods, all that we say and do holds a power so great that any one of us in any given moment can be responsible for the birth of a new civilization or the collapse of our own.”
A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

Mark A. Rayner
“Winter arrived with December, and the world continued to suffer the loss of the Internet and most forms of communication. Supply chains were disrupted. The only mass form of personal communication was the letter, and postal workers were having their worst year ever, as they were actually meeded. Food was becoming scarcer and more expensive, as was fuel for vehicles and heating. Major cities experienced riots on a regular basis, spurred on by religious fervor and want. Civilization was on the brink of collapse.”
Mark A. Rayner, The Fridgularity

Isaac Marion
“I don't know what happened. Disease? War? Social collapse? Or was it just us? The Dead replacing the Living? I guess it's not so important. Once you've arrived at the end of the world, it hardly matters which route you took.”
Isaac Marion, Warm Bodies

“Humans aren’t going to do anything in time to prevent the planet from being destroyed wholesale. Poor people are too preoccupied by primary emergencies, rich people benefit from the status quo, and the middle class are too obsessed with their own entitlement and the technological spectacle to do anything. The risk of runaway global warming is immediate. A drop in the human population is inevitable, and fewer people will die if collapse happens sooner.”
Aric McBay, Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet

Mehmet Murat ildan
“Sometimes all a country needs is an entire collapse for a new beginning!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

“Any system that values profit over human life is a very dangerous one indeed. Simply put, it lacks values, and such a system will eventually collapse once its true light is discovered by the masses. Though some say that capitalism is a modern system, corruption has been the source for the demise of every great civilization.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“I propose that the forces of corporate totalitarianism are deliberately destroying this entire world in order to sell their simulated version of it back to us at a profit.”
Diane Harvey

“One of the most important skills we can develop for collapse is the
capacity to listen.”
Carolyn Baker, Collapsing Consciously: Transformative Truths for Turbulent Times

“If we can practice opening to the crises in our personal lives as teaching moments, as evolutionary stepping stones, we will be far better prepared emotionally and spiritually for the trauma that collapse will foist on us and everyone around us.”
Carolyn Baker, Collapsing Consciously: Transformative Truths for Turbulent Times

A.J. Darkholme
“What we don't often realize is that the rebirth and collapse of grand things do not begin with grand things at all, like the things we see, but with the small, like the things we are - in the things we do - in the things we say.”
A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

Thomas Ligotti
“And any room that I enter may become a sideshow tent where I must take my place upon a rickety old bench on the verge of collapse. Even now the Showman stands before my eyes. His stiff red hair moves a little toward one shoulder, as if he is going to turn his gaze upon me, and moves back again; then his head moves a little toward the other shoulder in this never-ending game of horrible peek-a-boo. I can only sit and wait, knowing that one day he will turn full around, step down from his stage, and claim me for the abyss I have always feared. Perhaps then I will discover what it was I did - what any of us did - to deserve this fate.”
Thomas Ligotti, Teatro Grottesco

Brandon Andress
“If economies collapse and lawlessness rules and resources are scarce, many people who claim with their mouths that they follow Jesus... will abandon him with their lives.”
Brandon Andress, And Then the End Will Come!: But Five Things You Need to Know in the Meantime

“Fundamentally, what all forms of positive thinking about collapse come down to is our own fear of death.”
Carolyn Baker, Collapsing Consciously: Transformative Truths for Turbulent Times

“What fascinates me is not so much humanity's engulfment in darkness, but what kind of culture we will construct from the rubble of this one.”
Carolyn Baker, Collapsing Consciously: Transformative Truths for Turbulent Times

“Humans are only one species of millions. To kill millions of species for the benefit of one is insane, just as killing millions of people for the benefit of one person would be insane. And since unimpeded ecological collapse would kill off humans anyway, those species will ultimately have died for nothing, and the planet will take millions of years to recover. Rapid collapse is ultimately good for humans because at least some people survive. And remember, the people who need the system to come down the most are the rural poor in the majority of the world: the faster the actionists can bring down industrial civilization, the better the prospects for those people and their landbases. Regardless, without immediate action, everyone dies.”
Aric McBay, Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet

“Someone once told me his idea for surviving a crash of civilization was to be a lone wolf, heading for the hills, with his rifle and knife, living off the land. "Nowadays, I'm more interested in staying behind and helping others," he said, "like after Hurricane Katrina. Coming together and rebuilding something that can last."

"How about BEFORE a disaster?" I asked.

"Even better.”
Michael Carter, Kingfisher's Song: Memories Against Civilization

Billy Roper
“Multiculturalism destroys the true diversity which nature requires for the continued evolution of the species through the natural selection process of differentiation and competition between specialized populations within a group.”
Billy Roper, Hasten the Day: The First Year of the Balkanization of America

Carlos Fuentes
“all that was left to me was certain images and all of them spoke to me of the collapse of a cruel world and the slow construction in its stead of another world, equally cruel.”
Carlos Fuentes, Terra Nostra

“I'd like to issue a call to realism for those of us in so-called developed industrial nations, who indulge in great horror at the gradual collapse of our own pathologically unsustainable mode of existence while ignoring the reality of the majority of this planet’s residents, who do not in fact share the same dread or anxiety about losing what most of them, frankly, never had to squander in the first place.”
Brian Awehali

“There had never been a Class A1 event; it had always been a purely theoretical designation. Until now.”
L. Ashley Straker, Connected Infection

“Societies where there are worthy men and women of God, not necessarily preachers or religious men, but men that know the ways of God, they stand up against the collapse of equity in their land”
Sunday Adelaja

John Darnielle
“My grief sought out all parts of my body it hadn't yet inhabited, and I felt like I might collapse in on myself right there, at last, spectacularly”
John Darnielle, Wolf in White Van

“When a society begins to lack men that, that they stand up against the collapse of equity in their land that is the kind of thing that brings sorrow to the heart of our King”
Sunday Adelaja

Deyth Banger
“I really like the topic about time is an Illusion and also this quote "#Time Physical things are merely the collapse of psychic things into physical reality." - it's powerful. As much you repeat it as much powerful it gets.”
Deyth Banger
