Asteroid Quotes

“Chiron reminds us that only through recognising and accepting our inner wounds can we find true healing.”

“That’s the thing about the collapse of civilization, Blake. It never happens according to plan – there’s no slavering horde of zombies. No actinic flash of thermonuclear war. No Earth-shuddering asteroid. The end comes in unforeseen ways; the stock market collapses, and then the banks, and then there is no food in the supermarkets, or the communications system goes down completely and inevitably, and previously amiable co-workers find themselves wrestling over the last remaining cookie that someone brought in before all the madness began.”
― Mark A. Rayner, The Fridgularity

“Never in my life had I wished so hard for a thousand-foot-wide asteroid to change its course to hit someone directly in the face. Granted, it would have wiped out the entire country and possibly caused an impact winter on Earth in the process, but the greater good of mankind was worth some modicum of sacrifice.”
― Camilla Monk, Spotless

“Outside the port, the slashed rock of the unnamed asteroid tumbled and spun in dynamics known only to the gods of chaos mathematics.”
― Dan Simmons, The Rise of Endymion

“Sven nudges Cooper’s back with his foot and says, “NASA just came out and claimed an asteroid will pass by the earth that's the size of 112 camels.”

Cooper doesn’t open his eyes, but instead groggily replies, “Wake me up when it's 113 or more. I have a policy that I don't disrupt my naps for anything less than 113 camels.”
― Jarod Kintz, World Farming Championship

“Dal diario di Vivien Heal, anno 2036, post- asteroide.

«C’è un momento in cui tutto cambia. Avverti uno spostamento nell’aria e ti chiedi se abbia a che fare con l’atmosfera o con l’ambiente circostante. Ma dentro di te comincia a formarsi un grumo di pensiero, come un gomitolo danzante, e sia che impieghi giorni, mesi o anni prima o poi senti che le cose non saranno più le stesse. Penso di averlo capito pochi giorni dopo che ci interrammo nel bunker.»”
