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

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
Generosity could be as contagious as the zombie plague as long as enough people were willing to be carriers.

It’s easier to be a character in a story than the star of your own tragedy.
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.

Yo! Deadheads, he yelled, waving his sword to taunt them. Nice try, but you're messing with Benny-freaking-Imura, zombie killer. Booyah!
