Americans worship technology. It's an inherent trait in the national zeitgeist.

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.

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.

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.

Fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe.

Of all the weapons discussed in this book, nothing is more important than your primary firearm. Keep it cleaned, keep it oiled, keep it loaded, keep it close. With a cool head, steady hand, and plenty of ammunition, one human is more than a match for an army of zombies.

You can watch 'Dawn of the Dead' and still sleep at night. Try that with 'The Day After'.

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.

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.

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.

There comes a point where emotions must give way to objective facts.

There comes a point when you have to realize that the sum of all your blood, sweat, and tears will ultimately amount to zero.

There's a word for that kind of lie. Hope.

Looking back, I still can't believe how unprofessional the news media was. So much spin, so few hard facts. All those digestible sound bites from an army of 'experts' all contradicting one another, all trying to seem more 'shocking' and 'in-depth' than the last one. It was all so confusing, nobody seemed to know what to do.

Often, a school is your best bet-perhaps not for education but certainly for protection from an undead attack.

Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.

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.

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.

I wanted to serve. It was Desert Storm. I thought, 'I was a rich kid, and America's been good to me.
