Armageddon Quote by A.J. Lauer
““You cast a desperate look at Eric, who has not yet noticed that you’ve been bitten. Will I turn now? Am I becoming one of them? When Ghandi said, 'Be the change you want to see in the world,' I don’t think this is how he meant it.””

![“[Mahatma] Ghandi said in a world with so many hungry people it just makes sense that God would come as food.
