More quotes by Max Brooks
. . . show the other side, the one that gets people out of bed the next morning, makes them scratch and scrape and fight for their lives because someone is telling them that they're going to be okay.
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
But no matter what happens to the surviving humans, there will always be the walking dead.
Max Brooks
I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
Whatever bro, tell it to the whales
Max Brooks
You assume things, like whatever country has more firepower wins the wars, and that's actually not true at all.
Max Brooks
Zombie books were going to be my passion projects, but certainly not pay the bills. I thought I was going to have to get a real job on a sitcom or something, and have my zombie books to remind myself I was still a writer at heart. I never thought I could actually pay my bills and write what I wanted.
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
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
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
There's a word for that kind of lie. Hope.
Max Brooks
