All from "Collapse"

"Local food production is perhaps the most fundamental key to human survival in the collapse of industrialized civilization"

"Community is what will save us. You will fail as a rugged individual. You will survive as a member of a tribe or family."

"We have to get through the anger phase. How we get through it is going to be crucial. The way we're going, under the current government, monetary rule, the only kind of anger that's going to be produced is the destructive kind, born of absolute frustration and bitterness that nothing that's being sold to us as being a solution is making us feel any goddamn better."

"As far as political parties go, they're all anachronisms, they're all products of centuries gone by. The human race now is only going to be concerned not with an ideology, but with what allows them to survive. Capitalism, socialism, communism, are all terms that need to be tossed in the trash can immediately, because all of them were created on the assumption of infinite resourced. Not one of these ideologies, which are now dead dinosaurs, archaic fossils that are no longer relevant to our way of life. Not one of them recognizes that there must be a balance between growth and the resources and the planet. So forget the idea that you can have as much as you want because until mankind surrenders to the fact that it lives on finite planet and it must have balance with that planet, with the resources and animal life and all the other life- there can be no happiness for anything. Anything. Its all about getting balance back."
