Favorite Post-Apocalyptic Quotes? « Thread Started on Apr 11, 2010, 3:47am »
I'm gathering material for a post-apocalyptic tattoo. It's going to be a lower leg wrap, from my ankle to my knee or so, and I want it filled with post-apocalyptic images and text references from post-apocalyptic movies and books.
Below are the quotes I've gathered so far. What are your favorite one-liners from a PA book or movie?

May the road gangs never meet you. May the wind be fallout-free. May the sun shine through the ashes, hot rain not fall on thee. And until we meet again, may no one hold your flesh in the palm of their hand.

I have a more recent quote, it's my sig for this forum. I was particularly taken by the way the actor delivered the lines - straight-up, no sarcasm, almost resigned (he's attempting to be lighthearted).
