It’s easier to be a character in a story than the star of your own tragedy.
Jonathan Maberry
I've managed to stay alive out here in the Ruin because I'm a realist. I allow the truth to be the truth, no matter how much I might want it to be something else.

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
That's stupid. That's people.
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
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
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
Guilt and rage, hatred and fear were pathways to weakness and clumsy choices.
