“ان كثيراً من الناس ، اذا ما شعر انه يشغل حيزاً في المكان ,يبدأ بالتساؤل ، (( ثم ماذا ؟)) وابشع ما في الامر انه لو اكتشف بأن ليس له حق ((ثم)) ابداً . . يصاب بشيء يشبه الجنون , فيقول لنفسه بصوت منخفض : : (( اية حياة هذه ! . الموت افضل منها)) ثم ، مع الايام يبدأ بالصراخ : (( اية حياة هذه ! الموت افضل منها)) والصراخ ، يا سيدي عدوى ، فاذا الجميع يصرخ دفعة واحدة: (( اية حياة هذه ! . الموت افضل منها )) ولأن الناس عادة لا يحبون الموت كثيراً فلا بد ان يفكرو بأمر آخر”

“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.”
