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.

More quotes by Max Brooks
Sometimes you find your path, sometimes it finds you.
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
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
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
Hooking on scuba gear and blindly diving into zombie-infested water is a wonderful way to mix the two childhood terrors of being eaten and drowning.
Max Brooks
You can watch 'Dawn of the Dead' and still sleep at night. Try that with 'The Day After'.
Max Brooks
Fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe.
Max Brooks
Americans worship technology. It's an inherent trait in the national zeitgeist.
Max Brooks
Zombies don't run. They don't dance. They don't say, More brains. There is no Thriller Night. Those are stereotypes that are perpetrated by Hollywood, which I think is very irresponsible because it can get you killed.
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
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
Remember no matter how desperate the situation seems, time spent thinking clearly is never time wasted.
Max Brooks
Often, a school is your best bet-perhaps not for education but certainly for protection from an undead attack.
Max Brooks
[...]you don’t have to be Sun freakin Tzu to know that real fighting isn’t about killing or even hurting the other guy, it’s about scaring him enough to call it a day.
Max Brooks
Zombies are apocalyptic in nature. They belong to a class of monster that doesn't just hunt humans, but seeks to obliterate that entire human race.
Max Brooks
Zombies have no memories of their former life. You wont see the undead trying to wash windows or do your taxes. All they know how to do is swarm and feed.
Max Brooks
Before I'm a zombie nerd, before I'm a science-fiction nerd, I am a history nerd.
Max Brooks
When I believe in my ability to do something, there is no such word as no.
Max Brooks
You can't blame anyone else, ... , no one but yourself. You have to make your own choices and live every agonizing day with the consequences of those choices.
Max Brooks
There comes a point where emotions must give way to objective facts.
