"Natural disasters are revelatory.
The manner in which a society interprets
a catastrophe and responds to the chaos
exposes many of the accepted truths,
prejudices, hopes, and fears of a culture.
--Nicholas Shrady, The Last Day
(as quoted in Eruption)

"It's in there flowin'
It's in there growin'
You don't believe me
That this scenery
Could be a
Cold-blooded killer"
--The Presidents of the United
States of America, "Volcano"
