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.

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
The truth is the truth. What changes is what we know about it and what we're willing to believe.

Everyone carries around his own monsters.---Richard Pryor
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.

Chong said, 'Do yourself a favor, Morg. Next time you're staring at a girl's boobs, look up. You'll be shocked to learn it, but there's going to be a face up there. Nose, mouth, eyes. And behind the eyes is an actual person.
