“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.”

Max Brooks libro World War Z. La guerra mondiale degli zombi

World War Z
Contesto: 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.

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

Max Brooks libro World War Z. La guerra mondiale degli zombi

World War Z
Contesto: 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.”

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