Before I'm a zombie nerd, before I'm a science-fiction nerd, I am a history nerd.
Max Brooks
If you believe you can accomplish everything by cramming at the eleventh hour, by all means, don't lift a finger now. But you may think twice about beginning to build your ark once it has already started raining
Max Brooks
Since 2001, people have been scared. There's been some really scary stuff that's been happening - 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D.C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS. I think people really feel like the system's breaking down.
Max Brooks
I actually wrote my first zombie book way before I got the job on 'Saturday Night Live.
Max Brooks
I remember I used to come up to my teacher crying because I couldn't read. She would say: 'You can do this. You just don't want to do this.
Max Brooks
Zombies let us explore notions of the apocalypse - no water, food, medical care, the government imploding - while letting us sleep at night.
Max Brooks
I think 'G.I. Joe' is a perfect example of how I'm the world's worst businessman. If I were smart, I'd be writing 'World War Z Part 12', but I have to go where the muse leads, and I've always been a huge 'G.I. Joe' fan. I always wanted to know more about these characters, these little plastic figures I played with as a kid.
Max Brooks
That's the thing about zombies. They don't adapt and they don't think. Literally, you could have a zombie on one side of a chain link fence and you could be on the other side and they could be trying to get to you and six feet down could be an open door and they will not go through that door in the fence. That's why they're so scary.
Max Brooks
Americans worship technology. It's an inherent trait in the national zeitgeist.
Max Brooks
Sometimes you find your path, sometimes it finds you.
Max Brooks
There's a word for that kind of lie. Hope.
Max Brooks
I think Americans are at our best when we recover from a crisis. We've suffered some blows that other countries would have never recovered from.
Max Brooks
Fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe...Turn on the TV...What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products.
Max Brooks
There comes a point when you have to realize that the sum of all your blood, sweat, and tears will ultimately amount to zero.
Max Brooks
Lies are neither bad nor good. Like a fire they can either keep you warm or burn you to death, depending on how they're used.
Max Brooks
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
With so much protection, wouldn't one be able to wander among the undead ranks, taunting them at will with no danger of repercussion?
Max Brooks
The bottom line is I'm a slow zombie guy - I'm always a slow zombie guy but I also know I'm in the minority.
Max Brooks
You assume things, like whatever country has more firepower wins the wars, and that's actually not true at all.
Max Brooks
Zombies will try to scale any surface no matter how unfeasable or even impossible. In all but the easiest situations, these attempts have met with failure. Even in the case of ladders, when simple hand-over-hand coordination is required, only one in four zombies will succeed.
Max Brooks
