Cataclysm Quotes - page 2
Not since the day almost 45 years ago, when word reached Washington that his brother, John, had been cut down in Dallas, has there been news about an individual that struck so deep a blow to so many in this capital. The medical bulletin from Massachusetts General Hospital about Sen. Ted Kennedy was at once a personal tragedy and a political cataclysm. In his 46 years in the Senate, Kennedy probably has touched more people, in more cherished ways, than any other public figure. And his illness threatens to alter, for the worse, the prospects of every other politician -- starting with Barack Obama and John McCain.
Ted Kennedy
If a scientist saw a cataclysm coming, say a meteor on collision course for earth in 2050, we wouldn't be saying, "Hallelujah, physics is true, bring it on! Our faith in mathematics is strengthened!” We'd be trying to stop it. Which makes the Christian reaction puzzling. If I actually believed Jesus was coming to end the world, I'd be preparing by stocking up on timber and nails. They were pretty effective last time.
PZ Myers
The direction which the revolution will take depends, no doubt, upon the sum total of the various circumstances that determine the coming of the cataclysm. But it can be predicted in advance, according to the vigor of revolutionary action displayed in the preparatory period by the different progressive parties. ... The party which has made most revolutionary propaganda and which has shown most spirit and daring will be listened to on the day when it is necessary to act, to march in front in order to realize the revolution.
Peter Kropotkin
