Looking back, I still can't believe how unprofessional the news media was. So much spin, so few hard facts.

You assume things, like whatever country has more firepower wins the wars, and that's actually not true at all.
Max Brooks
They say great times make great men. I don't buy it. I saw a lot of weakness, a lot of filth. People who should have risen to the challenge and either couldn't or wouldn't. Greed, fear, stupidity and hate. I saw it before the war, I see it today. [...] I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.
Max Brooks

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
After all we'd been through, we still couldn't take our heads from out of our asses or our hands from around each other's throats.
Max Brooks
There's a word for that kind of lie. Hope.
Max Brooks
I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.
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
Americans worship technology. It's an inherent trait in the national zeitgeist.
