Earth Abides, By George R. Stewart


Page 106: "A greater joy, perhaps, saying the little things than saying something much greater." "A friend doubles joys and cuts grief in half..."

Page 111: "The match lived, not when it lay in the box, but merely when it burned--and it could not burn forever. So too with men and women. Not by denying life was life lived."

Page 116: "But each of them had already decided independently that life was not to be lived on the basis of fear." "...her courage seemed to flow out from her and sustain him."

Page 262: "We are afraid, but we do not talk of fear. We have many deep thoughts and doubts, but we do not speak them."

Page 268: "--still you couldn't control what the world does, all of it, pressing in around us."

Page 280: "What you were preparing against--that never happened! All the best-laid plans could not prevent the disaster against which no plans had been laid."
