A true crisis. Class 3 outbreaks, more than any other, demonstrate the clear threat posed by the living dead. Zombies will number in the thousands, encompassing an area of several hundred miles.

Max Brooks 83 quotes

Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.

Max Brooks 83 quotes

Looking back, I still can't b...

Looking back, I still can't believe how unprofessional the news media was. So much spin, so few hard facts. All those digestible sound bites from an army of 'experts' all contradicting one another, all trying to seem more 'shocking' and 'in-depth' than the last one. It was all so confusing, nobody seemed to know what to do.

Max Brooks 83 quotes

After all we'd been through, ...

After all we'd been through, we still couldn't take our heads from out of our asses or our hands from around each other's throats.

Remember; no matter how desperate the situation seems, time spent thinking clearly is never time wasted.

The dead walk among us. Zombies, ghouls-no matter what their label-these somnambulists are the greatest threat to humanity, other than humanity itself.

I actually wrote my first zombie book way before I got the job on 'Saturday Night Live.

Hooking on scuba gear and blindly diving into zombie-infested water is a wonderful way to mix the two childhood terrors of being eaten and drowning.

Sometimes you find your path, sometimes it finds you.

If your Soviet neighbor is tr...

If your Soviet neighbor is trying to set fire to your house, you can't be worrying about the Arab down the block. If suddenly it's the Arab in your backyard , you can't be worrying about the People's Republic of China and if one day the ChiComs show up at your front door with an eviction notice in one hand and a Molotov cocktail in the other, then the last thing you're going do is look over his shoulder for a walking corpse.

Max Brooks 83 quotes

They were viewed very much li...

They were viewed very much like castles, I suppose: as crumbling, obsolete relics, with no real modern function other than as tourist attractions. But when the skies darkened and the nation called, both reawoke to the meaning of their existence. One shielded our bodies, the other, our souls.

Max Brooks 83 quotes

Any survival guide will tell ...

Any survival guide will tell you, don't buy a pair of combat boots before any disaster. They'll tear your feet up. Or water. Don't bring water with you because it'll tire you out and you'll lose too much fluid. Bring a water pump.

During the Qin Dynasty, all books not relating to practical concerns such as agriculture or construction were ordered burned by the emperor to guard against "dangerous thought." Whether accounts of zombie attacks perished in the flames will never be known. This obscure section of a medical manuscript, preserved in the wall of an executed Chinese scholar, might be proof of such attacks.

I think that most people would rather face the light of a real enemy than the darkness of their imagined fears.

Max Brooks 83 quotes

America is especially sensitive to war weariness, and nothing brings backlash like the perception of defeat. I say “perception” because America is a very all-or-nothing society… We like to know, and for everyone else to know, that our victory wasn’t uncontested, it was positively devastating.

Max Brooks 83 quotes

I wanted to serve. It was Desert Storm. I thought, 'I was a rich kid, and America's been good to me.

Survival is the key word to remember—not victory, not conquest, just survival.

. . . show the other side, the one that gets people out of bed the next morning, makes them scratch and scrape and fight for their lives because someone is telling them that they're going to be okay.

Max Brooks 83 quotes

Looking for love on the internet is like Janet Leigh asking Norman Bates if he likes her body.

There comes a point when you have to realize that the sum of all your blood, sweat, and tears will ultimately amount to zero.
