  1. Markus Zusak _ Underdog

    Well, this is basically the end, so the answers should be in these next few pages. I doubt they will surprise you, but you never know. I don't know how smart or thick you are.

  2. Slavoj Žižek _ Mapping Ideology

    Up to a decade or two ago, the system production-nature {man's productive-exploitative relationship with nature and its resources} was perceived as a constant, whereas everybody was busy imagining different forms of the social organization of production and commerce {Fascism or Communism as alternatives to liberal capitalism}; today, as Fredric Jameson perspicaciously remarked, nobody seriously considers possible alternatives to capitalism any longer, whereas popular imagination is persecuted by the visions of the forthcoming 'breakdown of nature', of the stoppage of all life on earth – it seems easier to imagine the 'end of the world' than a far more modest change in the mode of production, as if liberal capitalism is the 'real' that will somehow survive even under conditions of a global ecological catastrophe.

  4. John Fowles _ The Collector

    The two of us in that room. No past, no future. All intense deep that-time-only. A feeling that everything must end, the music, ourselves, the moon, everything.

  7. Ursula K. Le Guin

    The Sun Going SouthIn late sunshine I wander troubled.Restless I wander in autumn sunlight.Too many changes, partings, and deaths.Doors have closed that were always open.Trees that held the sky up are cut down.So much that I alone remember!This creek runs dry among its stones.Souls of the dead, come drink this water!Come into this side valley with me
