I just read The Future Home of the Living God, by Louise Erdrich. It is really good- a different approach to apocalyptic SF. The focus is entirely on the experience of the people on the ground, rather than on the circumstances of the apocalyptic event.
Anyway, here is a quote:
"Someone in this world will always be suffering on your behalf. If it comes your time to suffer, just remember. Someone suffered for you. That is what taking on a cloak of human flesh is all about, the willingness to hurt for another human being."
