Frases de Max Brooks

Maximillian Michael "Max" Brooks é um escritor americano, conhecido por ser o autor de dois significativos livros sobre zombies: The Zombie Survival Guide, um guia sobre como sobreviver a um apocalipse zumbi, e World War Z, uma narrativa fictícia que estabelece a Terceira Guerra Mundial como um confronto em larga escala contra estas criaturas.

Ambas as obras foram consideravelmente bem-sucedidas, e o apreço da crítica e público levou Brooks a ser contratado para escrever também roteiros para histórias em quadrinhos americanas, como o romance gráfico The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks - uma adaptação de seu primeiro livro - e a minissérie G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds. Wikipedia

“Ignorance was the enemy. Lies and superstition, misinformation, disinformation. Sometimes, no information at all. Ignorance killed billions of people. Ignorance caused the Zombie War. Imagine if we had known then what we know now. Imagine if the undead virus had been as understood as, say, tuberculosis was. Imagine if the world’s citizens, or at least those charged with protecting those citizens, had known exactly what they were facing. Ignorance was the real enemy, and cold, hard facts were the weapons.”

“So the next time someone tries to tell you about how the true losses of this war are "our innocence" or "part of our humanity"… Whatever, bro. Tell it to the whales.”

World War Z
Contexto: You wanna know who lost World War Z? Whales. I guess they never really had a chance, not with several million hungry boat people and half the world's navies converted to fishing fleets. [... ] So the next time someone tries to tell you about how the true losses of this war are "our innocence" or "part of our humanity"... Whatever, bro. Tell it to the whales.

“Point is, that's the image of those in uniform, and it couldn't be further from the truth.”

World War Z
Contexto: Attack. When I first heard that word, my gut reaction was, "oh shit". Does that surprise you? Of course it does. You probably expected "the brass" to be just champing at that bit, all that blood and guts, "hold 'em by the nose while we kick 'em in the ass" crap. I don't know who created the stereotype hard-charging, dim-witted, high school football coach of a general officer. Maybe it was Hollywood, or the civilian press, or maybe we did it to ourselves, by allowing those insipid, egocentric clowns- the MacArthurs and Halseys and Curtis E. LeMays- to define our image to the rest of the country. Point is, that's the image of those in uniform, and it couldn't be further from the truth.

“Who knows if this is humanity’s greatest weakness or strength? The debate continues, and probably will forever.”

The Zombie Survival Guide
Contexto: Joy, sadness, confidence, anxiety, love, hatred, fear—all of these feelings and thousands more that make up the human “heart” are as useless to the living dead as the organ of the same name. Who knows if this is humanity’s greatest weakness or strength? The debate continues, and probably will forever.

“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.”
