Max Brooks
“The monsters that rose from the dead, they are nothing compared to the ones we carry in our hearts”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Max Brooks
“Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Max Brooks
“I think that most people would rather face the light of a real enemy than the darkness of their imagined fears.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Pierce Brown
“I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.”
Pierce Brown, Red Rising

Max Brooks
“The only rule that ever made sense to me I learned from a history, not an economics, professor at Wharton. "Fear," he used to say, "fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe." That blew me away. "Turn on the TV," he'd say. "What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products." Fuckin' A, was he right. Fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of poverty, fear of failure. Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
