Walls, towns, rules, and day-to-day life doesn't make us civilized ... That's organization and ritual. Civilization lives in our hearts and heads or it doesn't exist at all.

More quotes by Jonathan Maberry
He knew that these creatures were dead, that they were reanimated echoes who wore the disguise of the people they had once been, but Tom's words rang in his mind. They used to be people. How could he strike them? How could he hurt them? Children, women, old people. Lost souls.
Jonathan Maberry
How do you know that? Because,Chong said with raised eyebrows,when you open those things called 'books',there are words as well as pictures.Sometimes the words tell you stuff.
Jonathan Maberry
She wept for the hurt that he owned, a hurt she could never hope to remove.
Jonathan Maberry
But sometimes shame is a more powerful engine than rage. Like rage, it burns hot and like rage it tends to consume its own furnace.
Jonathan Maberry
There was a sliver of moon and a splash of stars, and the light outlined her face and glistened on the tears that ran like mercury down her cheeks.
Jonathan Maberry
Revenge is an infection of the spirit.
Jonathan Maberry
There are moments that define a person's whole life. MOMENTS in which everything they are and everything they may possibly become hinge on a single decision.
Jonathan Maberry
The whole world turned into an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Jonathan Maberry
It's important to know the past, but your survival depends on knowing the present.
Jonathan Maberry
Courage is tricky, oily. Easy to drop, easy to misplace. I thought that if you had courage you always had it.. . . Lilah, nothing is always there. Not courage, not joy, not hate or hope or anything else. We find courage, lose it, sometimes misplace it for years, and sometimes live in its grace for a while.
Jonathan Maberry
Sometimes shame is a more powerful engine than rage.
Jonathan Maberry
Sometimes people say terrible things when they're scared. They don't mean to, but they can't help it. They lash out because if they can see that their words hurt someone else, it makes them feel as if they aren't completely powerless.
Jonathan Maberry
They held each other and wept as the night closed its fist around their tiny shelter, and the world below them seethed with killers both living and dead.
Jonathan Maberry
Guilt and rage, hatred and fear were pathways to weakness and clumsy choices.
Jonathan Maberry
When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week, then there's either something wrong with your skills or something wrong with your world. And there's nothing wrong with my skills.
Jonathan Maberry
A wise man once said that we can't make anyone feel or do anything. We can throw things into the wind, but it's up to each person to decide how they want to react, where they want to stand when things fall.
Jonathan Maberry
It's just that I'm fifteen, and I have this crazy idea I might actually have a life in front of me. I don't see how it's going to do me much good to believe that the world is over and this is just an epilogue.
Jonathan Maberry
Basher shook his head. No, we climbed in through a ground-floor guest bedroom all ninja-like. Snuck up the back stairs. Then you might be the cavalry, said Tom, but I'm Santa Claus. Let's go downstairs and open some presents.
Jonathan Maberry
Suffering is easier to endure when shared.
Jonathan Maberry
Suddenly all those careful preparations disintegrated as predators far more dangerous than the walking dead proved what all wise killers already knew: that nothing was more dangerous than living men.
