“But today when I am 17 and warm and well fed, I'm keeping this journal for myself so I can always remember life as we knew it, life as we know it, for a time when I am no longer in the sunroom.”
― Susan Beth Pfeffer, Life As We Knew It

“I'm the one not caring. I'm the one pretending the Earth isn't shattering all around me because I don't want it to be. I don't want to know there was an earthquake in Missouri. I don't want to know the Midwest can die, also, that what's going on isn't just tides and tsunamis. I don't want to have any more to be afraid of.

I didn't start this diary for it to be a record of death.”

“That which you believe becomes your world.”
― Richard Matheson, What Dreams May Come

“Great, the worlds coming to an end and we're fixing it with Band-Aids”
