Quotes About Apocalypse

afirmaban que el Apocalipsis no era sino el día en que los sueños saldrían de la cárcel del dormir, pues la resurrección de los muertos que la gente concibe de forma trivial y metafísica, se produciría precisamente de ese modo. ¿No eran acaso los sueños mensajes enviados por ellos? Esta reivindicación secular de los muertos, este ruego, lamento, protesta, llámese como se quiera, será un día tomada en cuenta.
~ Ismail Kadare
Entiendes lo que te quiero decir? Si el globo terrestre desapareciera un día, si, por ejemplo, la Tierra se estrellase contra un cometa, se despedazara y se volatilizase o simplemente se precipitara en el abismo, si por tanto nuestro globo desapareciera sin dejar otro rastro que este sótano repleto de cartapacios, este sótano bastaría para comprender lo que había sido este mundo.

~ Paul Di Filippo

Complaints about the demise of society and the "youth of today" also tend to be timeless. Consider this pronouncement, inscribed on an Assyrian tablet circa 2800 B.C.: Our earth is degenerate these days . . . bribery and corruption abound, children no longer obey their parents, every man wants to write a book, and the end of the world is evidently approaching.
~ Neil deGrasse Tyson

But, for the so-called apocalyptics, McLuhan's conviction was translated into a tragic consequence: Liberated from the contents of communication, the addressee of the messages of the mass media receives only a global ideological lesson, the call to narcotic passiveness.

~ Umberto Eco
Do not expect too much of the end of the world. —StanisÅ'aw J. Lec, Aforyzmy. Fraszki, Kraków, Wydawnictwo Literackie, 1977, "MyÅ›li nieuczesane
~ Umberto Eco
He was Antinous, wild. You would have said, seeing the thoughtful reflection of his eye, that he had already, in some preceding existence, been through the revolutionary apocalypse. He knew its tradition like an eyewitness. He knew every little detail of that great thing. A pontifical and warrior nature, strange in a youth. He was officiating and militant; from the immediate point of view, a soldier of democracy; above the movement of the time, a priest of the ideal.
~ Victor Hugo
I was taught by my father to be afraid of the world, and some of the lessons stuck. I read about Patty Hearst and the Zodiac Killer and the massacre at the Munich Olympics and Charles Manson, and I knew the world was a terrifying place. He said it all of the time, reminded me that mountains could blow up and kill people in their sleep. Governments were corrupt. A flu could come out of nowhere and kill millions. A nuclear bomb could fall at any second, obliterating everything.
~ Kristin Hannah
