I am water; I am life. The form may change, but the substance stays the same. Strike me down and I will rise again. Vincit qui patitur.","author":"Rick Yancey","tags":["change","post-apocalyptic","ringer","vincit-qui-patitur","water"],"id":8951,"author_id":"Rick+Yancey"},{"text":"They want to control humankind through what they call selective breeding. The Nazis started it, but now the nwo are continuing it. See, the only way to control population is to first get it back down to manageable size. They're culling the herd, same way the game commission does when deer population gets out of control. That's why we've got diseases like cancer and aids. You telling me that we can put a little goddamn skateboard-looking robot on Mars and have it send pictures back, but we can't find a cure for cancer? There's a cure. You can bet on that, boys. There's a goddamn cure. They just won't release it because cancer helps cut down the population.","author":"Brian Keene","tags":["end-of-world","horror","post-apocalyptic","quote"],"id":12522,"author_id":"Brian+Keene"},{"text":"He could argue a case for anything, but that doesn’t change the fact he’s wrong most of the time.","author":"Michael Monroe","tags":["afterlife","argument","debate","dystopian-fiction","post-apocalyptic","science-fiction","sophist","western"],"id":32710,"author_id":"Michael+Monroe"},{"text":"Who would want to be the prey in a world full of hunters?~Disarming(Reign of Blood #2).","author":"Alexia Purdy","tags":["action","dystopia","mature-ya","post-apocalyptic","suspense","thriller","urban-fantasy","vampires"],"id":49274,"author_id":"Alexia+Purdy"},{"text":"Well you know what they say.

In ancient times the pineapple was ever the symbol of welcome, though the church used the objects in a different way. Apparently, each theological student of good family and destined for high office was given one on beginning their training and forbidden from pulling the lever on pain of excommunication. A test of obedience they called it. A test of curiosity I called it. Clearly the church wanted bishops who lacked the imagination for exploration and questioning.","author":"Mark Lawrence","tags":["church","humour","post-apocalyptic"],"id":50908,"author_id":"Mark+Lawrence"},{"text":"I write pre-apocalyptic fiction.

Nothing to it.'I see all right,' Carly said, her tone full of awe. She gaped at him.'What?'Um...'Jesus, Carly, what is it?' He spun around to make sure there wasn't something behind him that would justify her reaction and the look of impressed astonishment on her face.'You... Maybe the current was a little faster than you thought.'He followed the direction of her gaze and discovered he had lost his boxers. He snickered. She giggled. They both burst into laughter, and Justin flushed a little.","author":"Lissa Bryan","tags":["adventure","post-apocalyptic","romance"],"id":54399,"author_id":"Lissa+Bryan"},{"text":"I like living in my head because in there, everyone is kind and innocent.
