This has always been one of my favorite literary quotes, having seen it
first in some reading I did in 8th grade.  But, alas, I can't even remember
the book or author.  It's always bugged me through the years, not being able
to remember where it came from.  Maybe someone can help me out.

The quote:

               "So, this is how the world ends...
                not with a bang, but with a whimper."
