Adults keep saying, we owe it to the young people to give them hope. But I don’t want your hope, I don’t want you to be hopeful, I want you to panic.Greta Thunberg, CLimate change activist
And when times are bad, when darkness comes, people always go back to fire. Fire never goes out of style. In time of war, in time of fear, fire is what unites us, huddled together around the glow of something warm and dangerous.The Gospel of Loki, Joanne M. Harris

The more we exploit nature, the more our options are reduced, until we have only one: to fight for survival. Morris K. Udall
Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species, including Americans. Adlai E. Stevenson
Because survival is insufficient Star Trek: Voyager (also used in 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel)
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf. Nikita Khrushchev
Hunger, love, pain, fear are some of those inner forces which rule the individual's instinct for self preservation. Albert Einstein
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. Benjamin Franklin
Prepping is a positive action, not a negative one. It is not saying "we are all doomed!" It is saying "life's great, but what if it wasn't?" When The Fires Burn
Our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change. Martin Luther King Jr.
